Don't dare to buy, even with a 25% discount: Rospotrebnadzor named those brands of cheese whose manufacturers brazenly lie to customers

Popular brands that failed the test

Rospotrebnadzor conducted a study of processed cheese and found that not all products included in the study meet the requirements of GOST.

The following brands failed the tests:

• Hochland
• President
• Violette
• Svalia
• Karat

These manufacturers violated the requirements for the mass fraction of fat and dry substances in the product. In addition, the study found that some manufacturers use vegetable fats instead of milk fats in the production of processed cheese.

What is the danger of counterfeit processed cheese

Counterfeit processed cheese can be dangerous to health. Vegetable fats, which are often used by unscrupulous manufacturers, are harmful to the cardiovascular system and can lead to the development of obesity.

In addition, counterfeit processed cheese may contain harmful additives, such as dyes and preservatives, which can cause allergic reactions and other health problems.

How to choose quality processed cheese

To choose high-quality processed cheese, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

• Composition. The product must contain milk fat, not vegetable fat.
• Mass fraction of fat. The fat content of processed cheese should be at least 45%.
• Mass fraction of dry substances. The mass fraction of dry substances in processed cheese should be at least 50%.
• Appearance. The surface of the processed cheese should be smooth and shiny, without cracks or deformations. The color of the product should be uniform, without spots or streaks.
• Smell. The processed cheese should have a pleasant, milky smell, without foreign odors.
• Taste. The processed cheese should have a delicate, creamy taste, without bitterness or sourness.

If you are not sure about the quality of the processed cheese, it is better to refuse to buy it.
