Consumers need only minimal knowledge of food quality - Armenian NGO chief
14:30 - 09.11.13
Consumers' awareness of food products should be limited only to
minimal knowledge of quality, according to Armen Poghosyan, the
president of the Armenian Consumers' Association, NGO.
At a news conference devoted to the World Food Quality Day, Poghosyan
said that though consumers in Armenia are better aware today, their
excess knowledge often leads to problems.
`It is impossible not to notice the progress,' he said. `There is a
progress in both the quality of food and everything else.'
As for the shortcomings, Poghosyan pointed out to the improper
labeling and hygiene maintenance by several food manufacturers.
`It is necessary to introduce manufacturing methods powerful enough to
rule out the risks,' he noted.
Poghosyan further said that reports about the genetically modified
products often influence the population in a bad way.
`The broadcasts we watch about genetically modified food represent
almost monsters - double-headed men - jumping out of food. I have, of
course, seen people without heads many times in the street, but never
double-headed creatures,' he added.
