In Russia, officials announced that labeling of water intended for baby foods would become mandatory starting September 1, 2023. The decision was published on an official legal information portal, confirming the new requirement. The information was echoed by TASS, which reported that the measure was conveyed by the press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade as part of a broader rollout of labeling for all packaged water, a program that began on December 1, 2021.

The ministry described the move as a natural expansion of the labeling framework, ensuring that the entire segment of packaged water will carry traceable identifiers once the children’s water labeling is in place. This approach aligns with ongoing efforts to create end-to-end visibility across product categories and to improve consumer protection in the beverage sector.

Revaz Yusupov, Deputy Director General of the Advanced Technologies Development Center (CRPT) Chestny Znak, stated that the labeling system had already been prepared to support the traceability of baby water. He noted that the infrastructure required for effective tracking is in place, and that the key elements were ready ahead of schedule. Yusupov emphasized that the system is designed to deliver reliable data at every stage of distribution, from production lines to retail shelves. [citation: Chestny Znak CRPT; Revaz Yusupov]
According to industry observers, more than six in ten producers had equipped their lines with the necessary labeling equipment on their own initiative, even before official documentation mandated it. This proactive adoption suggested a strong industry commitment to transparency and consumer safety, with ongoing progress as additional manufacturers joined in. The trend was supported by activity from the sector, with continued investments in hardware and software to meet forthcoming regulatory requirements.

Analysts at Roscongress have estimated that, over the next two and a half decades, revenues related to drinking water could become a more substantial contributor to Russia’s federal budget than oil exports, underscoring the potential financial impact of a more transparent water supply chain. The projection reflects growing expectations for enhanced traceability, consumer confidence, and broader economic implications tied to the reform of packaged water labeling. [citation: Roscongress]
