YEREVAN. - The Armenian State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition (ASCPEC) made public, on Friday, the results of its inspections conducted in Armenia’s coffee market. And as a result, five companies are fined 5 million drams (US$ 13,090), each.  

The coffees of these companies were sold with labels reading “100-percent coffee, without additives.” But the ASCPEC-ordered laboratory testing revealed that these coffees contained side mixtures. As per the experts, these mixtures could be wheat, barley, and nuts.
