The Chestny Znak (Honest Sign) labeling system, at the request of Russian Rospotrebnadzor, has blocked the sale of nearly 1.1 million more bottles of Jermuk mineral water produced in Armenia. This was reported to RBC by the Rospotrebnadzor press service.
YEREVAN, April 30. /ARKA/. The Chestny Znak (Honest Sign) labeling system, at the request of Russian Rospotrebnadzor, has blocked the sale of nearly 1.1 million more bottles of Jermuk mineral water produced in Armenia. This was reported to RBC by the Rospotrebnadzor press service.
The restrictions were imposed following an inspection of new batches of the product, manufactured between October 23, 2025, and March 27, 2026. Rospotrebnadzor reported that violations of mandatory requirements were found in the samples. The restrictions were introduced to prevent possible harm to the life and health of citizens.
Nine product release dates in various containers were blocked.
"The labeling system serves as a reliable digital mechanism for consumer protection. "After receiving the regulator's request, we promptly suspended sales of every single item across the country—customers simply won't be able to buy potentially unsafe products. The system monitors the entire market structure, from product release to sale, allowing us to immediately isolate products with identified violations and ensure that only safe and verified products reach the shelves," explained Revaz Yusupov, Deputy General Director of the Center for Responsible Marketing (operator of the Chestny Znak system).
On April 28, the state-run Chestny Znak labeling system suspended the sale of 338,000 bottles of Jermuk mineral water in circulation in offline and online stores in Russia.
The Food Safety Inspectorate of Armenia stated that it is investigating reports of a ban on the sale of a batch of Jermuk mineral water in Russia.
