Bakers are recommended to make "saving" bread. According to the chairman of the State Committee for Standardization, Metrology and Patents of Azerbaijan Ramiz Hasanov at a meeting with the producers of bread, there is a need for new standards to provide different weight categories of bread.
To his knowledge, the stores sell dozens of varieties of bread, including popular hearth, "factory", rye loaves and bread for breakfast, weighing from 1.5 kg to 100 g. The Head of State Standard believes that people buy excessive bread "for the future." "I propose to make bread loaves from 100 to 600 grams, which will allow consumers to buy bread from the actual requirements, thus not to throw the extra bread into garbage cans."
The problem of "the economy of bread" was sounded three times in the Soviet period, the last time - in the 1980s. Officials, rather than worry about the standards for collecting, storing grain, milling and baking, spoke of the need to "tighten the belts".
Hasanov also touched mandatory packaging of bakery products. Local entrepreneurs, he said, prefer to sell fresh (warm and even hot) bread, but use it in a manner harmful to the digestive system, and also unhygienic. Therefore, penalties for failure to comply with international standards are reasonable, he said.
Finally, they raised a long overdue issue of training bakers in secondary special education centers. - 17D-
