The Rospotrebnadzor Administration for the city of Moscow has warned retail chains that they must suspend the sale of some imported products. We are talking about vegetables and fruits banned from import into Russia from some producers from Turkey, one producer of dried mint from Egypt, and several suppliers of pepper from Iran. Also banned were chocolate eggs, corn noodles, noodles and chips produced in some factories in China. This is stated in a letter from the Moscow administration of the service dated December 15, signed by its head Elena Andreeva.
The letter states that the decision to ban was made on the basis of unsatisfactory laboratory results. The products were tested for pesticides and GMOs. To avoid the risk of mass poisoning, their import was suspended until further notice, the document says.
Based on the results of inspections, from November 3, Rospotrebnadzor suspended the import of lemons from Turkey, and from November 17 – peppers and pomegranates from the same country. From December 2, similar restrictions applied to peppers from Iran, from December 7 – tangerines from Turkey, from December 9 – dried mint from Egypt, from December 10 – grapes from Turkey, from December 13 – oranges from the same country.
