In Russia, they proposed to give confiscated products to orphans and pensioners Russian news EN
Withdrawn due to recovery, but recognized as a rarity, the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans, Yaroslav Nilov, in a conversation with Lenta.ru, believes that such goods can be sent, for example, to nursing homes or orphanages.
Earlier it became known that bans on food products, confiscated or withdrawn from circulation, but recognized minerals are prohibited in Russia. The deputies have developed an appropriate review, which will soon be submitted to the State Duma.
The authors of the initiative say that tens of thousands of tons of food are destroyed every year in the country, and this causes serious social tension among Russians. Parliamentarians are returning this practice. So, for each group of seized products, an examination is required. If during the inspection the confiscation is found suitable for use, he is prosecuted on the basis of property rights and municipal needs.
“Everyone’s hooked on parmesan”
We are talking about the number of authorized products confiscated or seized from food products that are still useful for human consumption, Nilov explained. “Everyone is hooked on some parmesan. Compared to what they seize and destroy from us, this is a drop in the ocean. We destroy fruits, fish, red caviar, meat. We are talking about it. Such things should be dispersed centrally. The whole question is to find an acceptable use case, not a ban,” he added.
He reported that the production is made daily withdraw tons. Everything that did not pass customs control, was confiscated from poachers, sold in violation of veterinary rules, can and should be used, the deputy believes.
Look, in Europe they pay to collect and recycle garbage so that it can be distributed later. And we are paid to destroy products. It’s just barbaric. Especially for our country, in which there are such losses of pages of history, such as, for example, the blockade of Leningrad.

“This is barbaric”
Nursing homes, orphanages, rehabilitation centers, collection agencies, welfare institutions for the homeless and shelters for homeless animals could benefit organizations in need of the seized products, Nee said.
“Taking into account the need, we suggest that the government determine the rules for the use of seized products. In accordance with the regulations, specially designated by the authorized body, this is correctly observed. “We consider that on the basis of the structure of executive power, all this is quite acceptable today,” the deputy noted.
He stressed that before being sent anywhere, products must pass an examination. “We are not saying that all production is necessary for food among citizens. But if everything is normal with the withdrawal of products, neither great suitability, nor storage, no violations of quality, no violations in documentation and design, for example, are violated, just why in such cases it does not occur in public places where there is a need for it “, – said Nilov.

If the product is predicted or does not meet the quality, then it should not be disposed of either, the politician believes. “Spending money, stupidly destroying all these products, I cook, this is barbarism,” he threw out.
Including such products include politics and non-food products. “The same burnt alcohol. Yes, its quality does not meet the standards, but why pour it out and destroy it if it can be recycled and used in the non-food industry, for example, for disinfection, cleaning or the production of anti-freeze liquids for cars, used in garages for casing. the same authorities. Everything can be put to good use,” he explained.
In April 2021, in Russia, the authorities allowed the production of antiseptics from confiscated ethyl alcohol or alcohol-containing products with a strength of 75 degrees or more. The raw material for antiseptics was products that were produced and sold without food additives or documents allowing legality. Alcohol was seized and sent to the laboratory for research. If the confiscated products, according to the results of the analysis, are recognized that they will be transferred to the regions free of charge.
