Russia Upgrades 'Honest Label' System to Enhance Traceability Management of Health Supplements

May 29 - The operator of Russia's national traceability system, 'Honest Label', is collaborating with local health supplement manufacturers to upgrade the functionality of its official mobile application and plans to launch a dedicated information inquiry service for dietary supplements. By scanning the Data Matrix code on product packaging, consumers can access crucial safety information, including detailed product ingredients, accurate dosages, and consumption risk warnings for specific population groups. Currently, the platform's food inspection function covers 11 quality and safety indicators. Data shows that in April alone, the cumulative number of checks using this function exceeded 8.5 million, with active users surpassing 700,000. Since the system further strengthened its digital oversight of the health supplement sector at the end of 2024, it has cumulatively blocked nearly 50 million units of substandard or counterfeit health supplements that did not meet regulatory requirements from entering the market, continuously improving the safety and security level of Russia's healthy food consumption market. For cross-border sellers exporting dietary supplements and functional foods to Russia, it is advisable to pre-verify product label compliance requirements and ensure accurate entry of relevant product information into the official system to avoid customs clearance delays or forced product delistings due to information discrepancies.
