    Comment deadline: Closed on 13 September 2026

    Draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine 'On Amendments to Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated July 29, 2026 No. 980' (related to the labelling of food and feed)

    The draft Resolution proposes to supplement Resolution No. 980 of 29 July 2026 with a new paragraph providing that, during the period of martial law, foods for special medical purposes and infant food imported as humanitarian aid and bearing labelling in a language other than the state language may be placed on the market until the expiry of their minimum durability date or 'use by' date. This measure is necessary to ensure the uninterrupted supply to Ukraine of specialized food products that are essential for patients who, due to their health condition, are unable to consume regular food. The proposed exemption applies exclusively to specialized food products imported as humanitarian aid and does not apply to food and feed products in general, the placing on the market of which, from 1 October 2026, will be regulated under the general rules in accordance with Resolution No. 980, as notified in documents G/TBT/N/UKR/385 and G/TBT/N/UKR/385/Add.1.
