Belarus declines to purchase a single batch of its homemade laundry detergent.
Farewell to a Dangerous Detergent
Get ready to bid adieu to a washing agent of Belarusian origin, the "Synthetic Powdered Washing Agent WASHING TONE 'COLOR AUTOMAT'"! The powder, hiding in plain sight under the guise of "for washing in automatic washing machines" on its label, won't be gracing Belarusian stores after June 17, 2025.
The powder's issue lies in its "foaming ability" that, measuring (202±6) mm, far surpasses the norm of 180 mm. This excessive foam can deceive consumers about the product's quality, safety, and intended purpose, potentially posing a risk for safe use in front-loading washing machines.
On June 10, a warning was issued to the manufacturer, LLC "Selvin-Pro" (Mogilev). By the following Tuesday, you won't find this washing agent in Belarus.
Now, let's move on to toxic alcoholic beverages finding themselves banned in Belarus due to health risks, especially during the summer season. With store shelves brimming with alcoholic and low-alcohol products, some may prove to be more harmful than the usual health warnings suggest, as reported by Our Site.
Gosstandart identified a harmful mead that can trigger allergies in consumers and is not suitable for certain diseases, all because of the hidden preservative sulfuric acid (sulfur dioxide) in the product. A shocking omission, given sulfuric acid wasn't even declared in the composition!
These prohibited products include the pineapple-mango flavored "Hel' Vlastitisa" and the elderberry mead "Ezhovaya Krov'", produced by LLC "Medovarnia Traditsii Predkov" in Russia. The label boasts the products as natural, but their ban suggests otherwise.
The Belarusian market will soon witness a shift in the realm of health-and-wellness, with the elimination of the dangerous washing agent "Synthetic Powdered Washing Agent WASHING TONE 'COLOR AUTOMAT'" from stores. This move follows concerns about its excessive foaming ability that might lead to safety issues in front-loading washing machines.
While the authorities are cracking down on harmful washing agents, they are also vigilant about food-and-drink items that pose health risks. A harmful mead, triggering allergies in consumers and unsuitable for certain diseases, has been identified and is being banned due to the hidden preservative sulfuric acid.
In the realm of food-and-drink, the pineapple-mango flavored "Hel' Vlastitisa" and the elderberry mead "Ezhovaya Krov'" produced by LLC "Medovarnia Traditsii Predkov" in Russia, once touted as natural, will no longer be available due to their harmful nature.
In light of these developments, it seems that the focus on general-news, health, and wellness, fitness-and-exercise, and nutrition has gained significant importance in Belarus, promising a safer lifestyle for its population.
