YEREVAN, July 24. /ARKA/. A joint inspection by specialists from the Food Safety Inspectorate of Armenia (FSI) and Rosselkhoznadzor found no signs of using milk from diseased animals or imported raw materials at four Armenian dairy production facilities, the Armenian regulator reported.
Rosselkhoznadzor announced earlier on Friday that it would impose restrictions on the import of dairy products from Armenia to Russia starting July 27, 2026.
The Inspectorate noted that monitoring of dairy production facilities is ongoing, both as part of the annual inspection program and based on consumer complaints.
"Although the Russian side has not yet provided the results of the joint inspection conducted from July 14 to 21 at four Armenian enterprises, we can confirm that the inspection revealed no grounds to believe that these producers used milk from diseased animals or raw materials imported from other countries," the statement reads.
According to the inspectorate, the documents submitted by the enterprises indicate that the raw materials used in production have undergone laboratory testing and have been deemed safe.
The regulator emphasized that if violations are identified, the enterprise's production activities are suspended until they are corrected, and the hazardous batches of products are withdrawn from circulation and destroyed.
The agency assured that it will continue to monitor compliance with safety requirements at all stages of food production in accordance with current legislation.
