ArmInfo. The state-owned "Honest Sign" labeling system has suspended sales of a batch of Armenian mineral water "Jermuk" (Armenia) in offline and online stores. Revaz Yusupov, Deputy General Director of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (labeling operator), told RBC that 338,000 bottles were in circulation and are now blocked pending an inspection.
It is noted that the suspension was prompted by a letter from Rospotrebnadzor, in which the agency stated the need to "take urgent measures to prevent possible harm to the life and health of Russian citizens." The reason for the blocking was "violations of mandatory requirements." The ban applies to products with production dates of February 17, 2026, and March 5, 2026. As Yusupov noted, "they will not reach consumers until the investigation is completed."
The labeling system already suspended the sale of 2.5 million bottles of Jermuk following the poisoning of a North Ossetian resident in 2024. The bottle contained acetic acid instead of mineral water.
