Everyone has renamed their cheese a long time ago, but these ones still have “Russian”!

“For example, in Latvia decisions are made to rename streets and remove the Russian language from labels.

It confuses me that all the traders and manufacturers paid a lot of money and spent resources to rename the same name of cheese to “Tilsit”, but Mego allows himself to advertise “Russian” cheese on television.

There are also claims against this store that they openly sell Russian-made goods. So I have questions: wasn’t it appropriate to change the name of this cheese a long time ago? And is it even allowed to import Russian goods into Latvia and sell them?” the woman is indignant.

Not everyone in the comments agreed with the woman’s opinion.

“If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, there are people who like Russian goods, there is nothing at all in Latvia, only good taxes,” writes one of the users.

“The name Victoria also comes from Russia! Hurry up to rename yourself Milda!!!”, another pointed out.

“Firstly, only one manufacturer changed the name of the cheese; other Latvian manufacturers continue to produce Russian cheese under the same name. Secondly, sanctions do not apply to food imports from Russia,” said a third.

“In general, not a single law has been adopted that would require changing the name of cheese or selling products made in Russia. This is an initiative of every manufacturer and trader. Therefore, the only regulation is the willingness of buyers to purchase such products,” another noted.
