Many developed countries like Russia, Germany, France, China, Japan, Korea, Denmark etc. have refused to join the program of enriching the flour with additives, as biotechnologist Alexander Selimyan, member of Armenian Technological Academy, declared at the public discussions of RA draft law “On Enriching Wheat Flour” held on 22 January.
He raised a question why Armenia doesn’t follow the example of these countries and follows such countries as Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Georgia Albania etc.
Health Deputy Minister Sergey Khachatryan responded, “The notion of flour enrichment comes from Russia, in the 20’s after the revolution, then it was stopped, later the flour was enriched till the end of the Soviet Union for unknown reasons.”
In the European countries it’s more targeted, but a number of European countries carry out through food. We have learnt that Russia will soon adopt a law on enriching with iron and folic acid.
