Tver experts have identified a prohibited enzyme in cottage cheese

In dairy products, an enzyme banned for use in the food industry was revealed, told in the Tver testing laboratory.

At the request of the Rosselkhoznadzor Department for the Tver and Yaroslavl regions, the FGBI “ARRIAH” examined a sample of cottage cheese with a mass fraction of 9% fat. The enzyme transglutaminase was detected in the sample.

According to the technical regulations of the Customs Union, the presence of this enzyme in food products is unacceptable, since its effect on human health and life has not been fully studied, and safety has not been proven.

The test results were sent to the Rosselkhoznadzor Department.
