He added that the order clearly states that the measures apply exclusively to bone-in meat.
“When state regulation was introduced, it did not affect boneless meat and fillet, but only applied to bone-in meat, including hams and briskets,” he clarified.
According to the specialist, many consumers misinterpreted this regulation, believing that it applies to all types of meat.
In this regard, the Antimonopoly Regulation Service received several inquiries from citizens. It is reported that specialists went to the locations and conducted explanatory conversations with consumers and sellers, familiarizing them with the requirements of the order.
The representative of the service also noted that the specified measures are in effect at all points of meat sale across the country.
