YEREVAN, March 14. /ARKA/. The World Consumer Rights Day is to be marked in Armenia, the motto being awareness of the harm caused by unwholesome food.
Referring to the world Health Organization (WHO), the Consumer Rights Protection NGO reports that unwholesome food causes such diseases as diabetes, cancer and heart diseases.
Considering large-scale sale of unwholesome food on the international markets, international consumer rights organizations prepared a draft prohibiting the sale of such products to children, says the report.
The draft envisages the prohibition of TV and radio advertising of unwholesome food from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. One of the points of the draft prohibits the sale of unwholesome food by means of websites or SMS.
On its part, the Consumer Rights Protection NGO proposed that the RA Ministry of Health contribute to the adoption of international standards prohibiting the sale of unwholesome food to children at the WHO conference to be held on May 19-24.
In the context of international standards, the Armenian NGO also proposes the initiation of amendments to Armenia’s legislation. The World Consumer Rights Day is an annual celebration held on March 15. –0--
