MOSCOW, August 13 (RIA Novosti) — Russian consumer safety watchdog Rospotrebnadzor suspended imports of Ukrainian alcoholic beverages and beer, the watchdog said Wednesday.
The watchdog cited “numerous violations of the law on protection of consumer rights” as the reason.
Rospotrebnadzor added that the state monitoring of alimentary goods, in particular of vodka and beer, found numerous violations of consumer rights.
Earlier this month, the watchdog found dangerous substances in Bourbon, a US-made whiskey.
According to the sanitary authority, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Barton 1792 Distillery Company did not comply with Customs Union technical regulations, although the whiskey label has the Eurasian Conformity, or EAC, mark, used for products on Customs Union member state markets, on it.
Falsified products were found in supplies from Germany, the Czech Republic and France.
