Overkill by yeast: Russia banned the supply of Belarusian cheese

Since September 8, the Rosselkhoznadzor has temporarily restricted deliveries to Russia of the products of the Slutsk cheese factory operating in Belarus. As it became known from the official letter of the Department for the Department of Veterinary and Food Supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Belarus, the reason is that the regulations do not comply with the yeast content in Belarusian sour cream.

Already shipped products are accepted as normal. Preparing for shipment is prohibited for acceptance on Russian territory.

The Rosselkhoznadzor also strengthened control over the products of four more producers from Belarus — beef of the Brest Interdistrict Trading Base (Kamenetsky branch), in which salmonella was found, in finished meat products from poultry meat of JSC Vitebsk Broiler Poultry Farm — bacteria of the E. coli group, in beef from LLC The "First meat" and the production site "Slutsk Meat Processing Plant" of JSC "Dzerzhinsky Agrokombinat" — bacteria of the E. coli group and microorganisms dangerous to humans.
