Russia to Restrict Brazilian Pork, Beef Imports from Dec. 1
USAgNet - 11/21/2017

Russia will place temporary restrictions on imports of pork and beef products from Brazil from Dec. 1, the country's Rosselkhoznadzor food safety watchdog said on Monday.

According to Reuters, Russia said last week it was considering a ban on all pork and beef imports from Brazil after finding the feed additive ractopamine in some shipments, an allegation Brazilian meat industry groups denied.

"Given the seriousness of the situation, Rosselkhoznadzor is forced to take urgent measures to protect Russian consumers and the domestic food market and introduce temporary restrictions from Dec. 1 this year," the agency said in a statement.
