New GOST for the authenticity of dairy products will come into force on August 8

Standards for the authenticity of dairy products will be regulated in detail

A new national standard, GOST R 72209-2025 “Milk and dairy products. Authenticity criteria,” will come into force in Russia on August 8, 2025. It was developed by the Federal State Autonomous Institution “VNIMI.” The GOST was developed to increase the transparency and quality control of dairy products, the organization’s press service said.

The new standard approves criteria for assessing the authenticity of milk and dairy products. The document takes into account international principles and standards, such as GOST 19.701 (ISO 5807-85), and offers an algorithm for analyzing the composition of products based on chemical, physical, and nutritional characteristics.

In addition to composition control, the standard implies increased laboratory control, mandatory use of modern analysis methods, and increased responsibility for the release of high-quality products.
