Silviu Popovici, President of PepsiCo in Russia, announced this at the presentation of the new line.
"The modernization of production began in 2012. It was completed in January 2015. Until now, debugging was underway, trial batches of cheese were produced. With an increase in capacity, we were able to increase cheese production from 50 to 70 tons per day, processing of raw whey increases from 600 up to 900 tons,” said the head of the plant’s production department, Angelina Kachesova. She clarified that the Altai plant is the only enterprise in the Russian Federation where Lambert cheese is produced.

With an increase in capacity, the plant will be able to produce up to 24 thousand tons of cheese per year. As the company reported, the cheese produced here occupies 7.4 percent of the entire Russian cheese market. For production, only local raw materials are used - milk is purchased from peasant farms in the Altai Territory.

Lambert cheese is perfect both as an independent dish and as a component of many recipes. Melted Lambert on pizza, and as a crust for baked potatoes, it's just a magical taste sensation.
I have been buying this cheese from Wimm-Bill-Dann for several years now. Lambert is sold by the head weighing 1 kg, or packaged in strips of vacuum packaging. Of the three types of cheese, my family loves Lambert “Classic” the most. Cream cheese seems too fatty, and Tilsiter is not an acquired taste.
Cheese, of course, contains various preservatives, dyes, and many other not entirely healthy chemical additives. Such is our life that everything that is tasty is not entirely safe. I believe that if you use this or that product in moderation, there will be no harm.
When guests arrive, the Lambert cheese slices fly away instantly. The cheese is especially good when slicing, it does not crumble, the pieces are even and neat.
Attention all vegetarians! Lambert cheese contains rennet - absolutely not vegetarian product. Be careful if product ethics is a top priority for you.
I completely trust Wimm-Bill-Dann and gladly buy their products, including Lambert cheese. I have never encountered the product poor quality. The cheese is always tasty, fresh and aromatic. My little son eats classic Lambert cheese with great pleasure. Sometimes, to improve his appetite, I grate cheese on his potatoes, pasta, and even dumplings. My dog regularly gets small pieces of cheese as a reward and she absolutely loves the taste!
Although I sometimes experiment with other cheeses, I always return to my favorite Lambert cheese!

On November 24, Rosselkhoznadzor for the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic published the results of inspections carried out at the Rubtsovsky Dairy Plant. It turned out that Lambert cheese, which is produced at this enterprise, does not meet quality requirements. Moreover, as the department notes, the violation was discovered again. As a result, the regulatory authority introduced restrictive measures regarding these products. How this could happen, whether this is the dairy plant’s fault and whether it will be able to sell its cheese in Russia, read in our analysis.

1 What violations were found at the Rubtsovsky Dairy Plant?
Inspectors found antibiotics of the tetracycline group in Lambert cheese. The department reports: this is not the first case of exceeding the permissible level of this substance in the company’s products. After the first time, the Rubtsovsky Dairy Plant was put under enhanced laboratory control, which, in turn, confirmed a violation of veterinary and sanitary requirements. Based on test reports in the Register of Enterprises of the Customs Union, RZM received the status “temporarily limited.”
2 What does this status mean?
This status prohibits the Rubtsovsky Dairy Plant from supplying cheese to the market of the EAEU member countries. We are talking about Armenia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. The Rosselkhoznadzor for the Altai Territory explained to the website that the duration of the ban will depend on the actions of the enterprise itself. The department has already held a meeting with the management of the plant. The company has begun work to prevent a similar situation from reoccurring. Once the problem is resolved, the "temporarily limited" status will be removed.

3 Will Lambert cheese be banned in Russia?
Rosselkhoznadzor informed the Veterinary Department of the Altai Territory that an antibiotic was found in Lambert cheese. It has the right to restrict the movement of products from enterprises with the “temporarily restricted” status throughout Russia. The department also notified the veterinary department of the need to conduct regional monitoring of the safety of products produced at the Rubtsovsky Dairy Plant. It is not yet known whether the veterinary service will restrict the transportation of Lambert cheese. It was not possible to immediately obtain a comment on this matter.
4 How could antibiotics get into cheese?
As Alexander Mayorov, director of the Siberian Research Institute of Cheese Making, explained to the site, such situations at dairy enterprises are possible due to an error at the stage of acceptance of raw materials. According to the rules, incoming milk is checked for antibiotics once every 10 days. In this case, the supplier is obliged to notify the processor if animals were vaccinated using antibiotics at the livestock complex. According to Alexander Mayorov, the plant is definitely not interested in receiving such milk. Raw materials that contain an antibiotic may not curdle to the desired consistency during the cheese making process.
5 What do the owners of the enterprise think about this?
As Sergei Glushkov, vice president for corporate relations at PepsiCo Russia, Ukraine, CIS and Central Europe, told Interfax, the company received a letter from Rosselkhoznadzor about the discovery of tetracycline antibiotics in a sample of Lambert cheese. Measures were immediately taken: the plant blocked this batch of products in the warehouse and conducted research in three independent accredited laboratories, including a laboratory subordinate to Rospotrebnadzor.
According to Glushkov, studies have confirmed the absence of antibiotics. PepsiCo Russia does not consider the agency’s actions to be legal and justified “neither in terms of the decisions taken, nor in terms of the published information.” The company does not exclude the possibility of appealing to law enforcement agencies and the court.

6 Have there been any complaints about the quality of Lambert cheese before?
In March 2016, claims were already made against the Rubtsovsky Dairy Plant regarding the quality of its products. Then the territorial committees for the protection of consumer rights of the Ministry of National Economy of Kazakhstan checked 337 samples of dairy products. Some of them were in violation of technical regulations and safety requirements. Thus, in the city of Astana, according to the results of a study of samples taken in the Magnum supermarket, coliform bacteria were found in Lambert cheese. The products were confiscated both from stores and from suppliers' warehouses. Then the PepsiCo Russia website reported that this was not the first time that the Kazakh side “has made unsubstantiated defamatory statements.”
