The Senator stressed that the market for lactose-free formulas for children is now completely dependent on imports.
“Baby food is no longer subject to sanctions because it represents vital goods. But we do not know how many more packages of sanctions may be imposed against Russia and whether lactose-free baby food will be covered by them, ”Lazutkina said.
According to him, Russian manufacturers have the necessary components for the manufacture of such mixtures, but so far they are not used. Lazutkina added that the Federation Council wants to develop a set of measures to support such producers.
