Russia Upgrades 'Honest Label' System to Strengthen Traceability Management of Health Products

On May 29th, news emerged that the operator of Russia's national traceability system, 'Honest Label,' is collaborating with local health product manufacturers to upgrade the functionalities of its official mobile application. The plan includes launching a specialized information query service for dietary supplements. By scanning the Data Matrix code on product packaging, consumers can access crucial safety information, including detailed product ingredients, accurate dosage, and consumption risk warnings for specific populations. Currently, the platform's food inspection function covers 11 quality and safety indicators. Data shows that in April alone this year, the related functions were used for verification over 8.5 million times, with the number of active users exceeding 700,000. Since the system further strengthened its digital supervision over the health product sector in late 2024, it has cumulatively blocked nearly 50 million substandard or counterfeit health products that did not meet regulatory requirements from entering the market, continuously enhancing the safety and security of Russia's healthy food consumer market. For cross-border sellers exporting dietary supplements and functional foods to Russia, it is essential 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 removal due to information discrepancies.
