00:02:30Hello everyone, I'm Artyom Shalimov, and this is our consumer oversight, a program about
00:02:33how to make life long, comfortable, safe, and most importantly, how not
00:02:37to overpay for all this, here's what we'll tell
00:02:40you today.
00:02:43Why is sugar getting more expensive? Are there real reasons for this,
00:02:47or is it the machinations of speculators?
00:02:50Milk from which factories is infected with E. coli?
00:02:53Is it true that chemicals are sprinkled into white wine to make
00:02:57it more transparent? How to choose
00:03:00quality. Candies from which factory should not be given
00:03:03to children, because mold has grown in the sweets?
00:03:07Swindlers are massively mixing cottage cheese into sausage, a forbidden
00:03:10additive - meat glue. Which brands
00:03:13endanger our health and a recipe
00:03:17for an oriental dish from Abraham
00:03:18Russo.
00:03:22Let's start with one of the main economic topics of the week - sugar
00:03:25prices, which, alas, are not sweet at all. Since
00:03:28the beginning of the year, they have risen
00:03:30by 26.5%.
00:03:33At the same time, the average price per kilogram is already over 85
00:03:36rubles. And it's clear that sugar is more
00:03:40popular than ever in autumn. It's the main ingredient for berry and
00:03:44fruit preserves. The Antimonopoly Service has already
00:03:47announced that it is checking supermarkets, whether their profit
00:03:50is too delicious and whether there is a conspiracy. And our
00:03:54reporter Ruslan Skripka decided to investigate what this
00:03:57sugar price anomaly is, because Russia is actually
00:04:01a world leader in sugar beet
00:04:03cultivation.
00:04:13Lipetsk region - fields the size of 1,200 football
00:04:16stadiums, and under the ground are hidden tons of future
00:04:19sugar. The harvesting campaign is starting right
00:04:23now. It seems the technology is simpler than steamed beets. Planted,
00:04:26dug up, count the profit, but in fact, the work here
00:04:30is endless, to collect so much harvest from
00:04:33these seemingly endless fields, you definitely can't do without
00:04:37this sixty-ton harvester
00:04:39combine. First of all, this
00:04:42machinery with a sharp, like a blade knife,
00:04:45cuts off the tops from the beets, then the
00:04:48root crops are sent to the root puller. And
00:04:52only after that the beets
00:04:55get into these metal stars, where
00:04:58they are spun several times, like on a carousel, cleaning
00:05:02off sand, residual tops and stones, and after
00:05:06that, along the conveyor, the clean
00:05:09and neat beets are loaded into the truck.
00:05:16The struggle for the harvest goes on around the clock, ahead are two, three, or even four
00:05:19months of exhausting survival races, where the main enemy is
00:05:22unpredictable autumn weather. What interferes, well, we have
00:05:26chernozem - it's like plasticine, that's
00:05:29one. Plus, the combine starts to clog,
00:05:32the harvesting speed drops, the quality of the
00:05:36product drops, the beets are dirtier,
00:05:39the harvested crop is piled into giant mounds on the edge. They
00:05:43are called kogaty.
00:05:45These beets, unlike those that usually grow in gardens or
00:05:49that are fed, for example, to animals,
00:05:52look, they are noticeably larger, they are
00:05:55elongated, but if you cut them, which can be
00:05:59done with great difficulty, you can see that
00:06:02inside they are also white, and most importantly,
00:06:05these beets are record holders in sugar content,
00:06:09it's almost 20% here.
00:06:17Growing the right mountains of such root crops turns out to be
00:06:20a separate type of agricultural art, explain the Ryazan
00:06:24agrarians, and it's not easy to sow it either, to get into
00:06:27moist soil, so that the shoots are even,
00:06:31well, and to treat it correctly, so that it is clean, when it's
00:06:35clean, it grows better, fertilizer must be applied
00:06:39accordingly, otherwise what will it grow from?
00:06:52with weeds, and pests attack the root crop. The first disease is
00:06:55cercospora of beet, it's a leaf apparatus disease,
00:06:59beet rot, it's the root crop itself that gets sick. A crooked root crop
00:07:02will simply be spit out by the combine, and the factory will not pay a penny for low
00:07:06sugar content, so a large harvest begins with
00:07:09a microscopic seed. Today it's not just
00:07:12a simple seed, it's a real capsule of life, resembling not so much
00:07:15a candy in glaze as a bullet for airguns, each
00:07:19family is encased in powerful vitamin armor, which increases
00:07:22germination and protects from pests, the difference with
00:07:26technologies of the last century is enormous, if before we
00:07:29weeded, they were, well, solid,
00:07:32from one seed three
00:07:35shoots could grow, three together would not develop, there would be a struggle for nutrition,
00:07:39now they are all polished,
00:07:42separated, each seed
00:07:45is coated, there are micro-fertilizers, insecticidal
00:07:49treatment, everything in this
00:07:50seed.
00:07:54For many years, domestic agrarians were heavily reliant on
00:07:58imported seed. Germany, France, and the Netherlands
00:08:01dictated fashion, while our selection lagged behind global
00:08:04trends. Despite the fact that we have been doing this all our lives, the country has been
00:08:08engaged in sugar beet breeding for over 100 years, we were somewhere
00:08:1230 years ago behind the global
00:08:16breeding trends, from new technologies
00:08:19for seed preparation, but after 15 years
00:08:22of painstaking breeding, every fourth grain in the ground already has
00:08:26Russian registration, the areas under domestic
00:08:29seeds, promise breeders, will only grow, and this is very
00:08:33timely, overseas hybrids hit the pocket too hard, if
00:08:37sugar costs 50 rubles, the wholesale price of sugar,
00:08:40wholesale is...
00:10:56Prices are also pulled up by a factor that economists call seasonality. This is
00:10:59when last year's sugar is already running out, and the new one has only just
00:11:03begun to be produced. In Russia, sugar is mainly
00:11:06produced from the second half of August to the first
00:11:10half of January, this is almost the entire volume, and what is produced in
00:11:13February-July is an insignificant volume,
00:11:16respectively, in the first half of
00:11:202026, and also in July, sugar stocks
00:11:23decreased and...
00:11:33by July they were almost completely exhausted and prices began to noticeably increase in the optical range, however, there is no need to fear empty shelves, explains the expert, the country provides itself
00:11:37with sand and refined sugar in abundance, 105%. The price in
00:11:40the optical range has already started to fall and will soon fall on store shelves.
00:11:44Wholesale prices began their
00:11:47decline a month ago, they have already
00:11:50dropped by more than 20%. Stabilization
00:11:53and subsequent decline.
00:12:04as in previous years, do not expect, factories and farmers have to include in the cost the increased
00:12:07diesel fuel, equipment and logistics, but there will certainly be a lot of sugar, promise
00:12:11farmers, enough for preserves and until the next harvest,
00:12:14certainly.
00:12:18Chicken, alas, is also not cheap, and it would be good if
00:12:22its quality was excellent, but the other day a
00:12:25check of one of the large poultry farms revealed
00:12:29simply a gigantic number of violations. Details in the summary of the most
00:12:32important consumer news. Inspectors
00:12:35came to the Tokaryovskaya poultry farm, where, among
00:12:38other things, chicken of the brands "Nasha Ptichka" (Our Bird) and "Udachnaya
00:12:42Tsena" (Lucky Price) is produced. They found as many as 400
00:12:45violations related to poultry keeping,
00:12:48the safety of ready meat and its examination. The
00:12:52factory was checked after it was found that
00:13:02This same bacteria, by the way, was found in chicken from another division of the same company, OOO
00:13:04Stavropol Broiler, which produces the brand
00:13:07Blagoyar.
00:13:09And in canned olives, another bacteria was found -
00:13:13Listeria. The product is massively recalled from shelves.
00:13:17A snack of what brand turned out to be deadly
00:13:20dangerous, we will tell you right after a very short commercial
00:13:23break. And here's what else. You'll find
00:13:25out everything.
00:13:28Milk from which factories is infected with E. coli?
00:13:31Is it true that chemicals are sprinkled into white wine to make
00:13:35it more transparent? How to choose quality?
00:13:39Candies from which factory should not be given to children, because
00:13:42mold has grown in the sweets. Swindlers
00:13:46are massively mixing cottage cheese into sausage, a forbidden additive
00:13:49- meat glue. Which brands endanger our
00:13:53health and...
00:19:18I insist. Why can't the school administration deal with
00:19:22young hooligans who regularly disrupt classes?
00:19:25How did I threaten him? What did I tell him? It's scary
00:19:29to send a child to school. The whole class
00:19:32studied in the teacher's room to protect our children. Why
00:19:35does a mother of many children encourage?
00:20:07in Andrey Kunitzin's author's program "Chelovek v Prave" (Man in Law).
00:20:10Today at 16:20 on
00:20:13NTV.
00:20:16We are back on air, this is our consumer supervision.
00:20:19Canned olives from Spain were found to be infected
00:20:23with a dangerous bacterium, Listeria.
00:20:26Pitted olives of the brand Waitrose are being recalled from
00:20:29European shelves. Manufacturers found that a
00:20:33pathogenic Listeria had multiplied in the product, which is unaffected
00:20:36by even high concentrations of salt and
00:20:39acids, and which can lead to meningitis
00:20:42and sepsis. Fortunately, there have been no victims. Olives
00:20:46of this brand are not exported to Russia. For
00:20:50that, sweets of the brand Baby Fox are popular in our country,
00:20:53however, they are now being urgently removed from stores.
00:20:56It turned out that mold had grown in children's
00:20:59sweets. A batch of waffle candies. Baby
00:21:03Fox Kremichok with a volume of more than 8 tons is being removed
00:21:07from sale throughout Russia. Controllers found an almost
00:21:10threefold excess of mold in the dessert. And during
00:21:14court proceedings, it turned out that the factory
00:21:17had already been fined for unsanitary conditions. Raw materials
00:21:20in production crossed paths with finished products, and wooden
00:21:24pallets were covered with mold.
00:21:27The danger lies in how long the child consumed this
00:21:31product, and from this there will already be consequences, such as an impact
00:21:35on the immune system, for example, on the liver
00:21:38or on the urinary
00:21:39system.
00:21:42But where you're unlikely to find mold is in the refrigerator
00:21:45of the famous singer Avraam Russo, who can
00:21:48light up not only on the stage, but also in the kitchen. He has proven
00:21:52many times, including, for example, in the culinary show "Culinary Duel" on
00:21:56NTV, that he cooks as wonderfully as he
00:21:59sings, and at the same time he has long been leading a healthy
00:22:02lifestyle. That's why we went to visit the
00:22:05artist, and the refrigerator inspection was just an excuse,
00:22:09and the main goal, of course, was a recipe for a real
00:22:13oriental
00:22:25Abraham, hello, hello, hello, good afternoon, glad to see you, have
00:22:29you had this experience before, checking what I eat, what I don't eat, no,
00:22:32I haven't, then let's see what
00:22:35products, not all of them are mine, let's start with this, because friends were here
00:22:39the day before yesterday, they dragged some things
00:22:41here, but I drink and burgers
00:22:45why deprive myself of the pleasures of life, here
00:22:48I recommended not keeping industrial minced meat, because
00:22:51these blood clots, they all
00:22:54serve as a breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria, so
00:22:58it's better to transfer it to some airtight container, don't buy
00:23:01this brand. What are your most important
00:23:04products that are always present in your diet? I
00:23:08am in love with hummus, you understand, I'm a hummus
00:23:10lover.
00:23:13I see you have some, and I buy this
00:23:16dry chickpea, it's a whole story, I recommend you try
00:23:20this hummus made with your own hands, quickly, like
00:23:23this, oh, how beautiful, smell it, and I tell
00:23:26you, I'll bet with anyone from restaurants that prepare it, if they
00:23:29can make such hummus, well, I suggest
00:23:33we check then, do you have some secret ingredient? What are you talking about, now
00:23:37they'll try it and tell you, please, clean hands, don't worry, it smells good.
00:23:41Yes. Fresh hummus. I have plans
00:23:45to produce my own truffle hummus, there is no such thing in the world, it's a wonderful
00:23:49source of plant protein, excellent, and for
00:23:52intestinal motility, it's maximally useful, so much
00:23:55fiber there. Suddenly, friends,
00:23:58friends, friends, this is also what was bought by your friends,
00:24:02but, well, these are sweets, if you saw
00:24:05these friends, you would understand what I mean,
00:24:08everyone has the right to choose, right, here we
00:24:12have no choice but to throw away the orange thigh, because the shelf
00:24:15life of this has expired, we need to
00:24:18watch out. Pay attention to expiration dates
00:24:22100%. I didn't find myself in a dumpster, and my
00:24:25stomach is not an urn to throw everything into. This is very
00:24:29carefully. Here's some beet, often used in
00:24:32the diet, very, very useful, this is very do you make beet hummus?
00:24:36I do, how do you know?
00:24:39Do you use cottage cheese in syrniki or raw? I make
00:24:43a mix, one banana, cottage cheese, cocoa and
00:24:46I add protein to it, this is on days when I go to the gym, for example.
00:24:50This is an investment in the body,
00:29:34departments, however, Russians, according to statistics, suddenly
00:29:37fell in love with white, which almost caught up with red in sales,
00:29:41and no, not because they started eating less meat, it's just that wine
00:29:45is losing its status as an accompaniment to a hearty dinner,
00:29:49today it's more often a light drink for an evening with snacks
00:29:53or a picnic, and for such events, white is
00:29:56just perfect, but it's just that some gourmets still
00:30:00believe that Russian white...
00:30:02is something like second-rate alcohol, to
00:30:06find out if there's any evidence for this theory or if it's
00:30:09a silly, cork-like myth, our reporter Katya Tikhaya
00:30:13went to a Russian wine production and
00:30:15found out how it's
00:30:17made.
00:30:22This is the most wine-producing region of the country, it is in Kuban that
00:30:26almost half of all Russian grapes are grown,
00:30:28ideal climate for grapes -
00:30:32cool summer, warm winter, and a light sea breeze wouldn't hurt,
00:30:35but most importantly, the
00:30:39soil must be sufficiently
00:30:41dry.
00:30:46While other plants wither in rocky soil without rain,
00:30:50grapes grow lushly and spread. Grape growers are not
00:30:53happy about a rainy summer, because firstly, the harvest can be
00:30:57excessive due to excessive moisture, and secondly, it.
