Russia bans import of Ukraine’s Roshen confectionery
Russia’s consumer rights’ watchdog has imposed a ban on import of confectionary products made by Ukraine’s candy giant Roshen, ITAR-TASS reported.
Rospotrebnadzor claims quality and safety of goods produced at Roshen’s four confectionary plants in Kiev, Vinnitsa, Mariupol and Kremenchug.
“Of late the quality of confectionary products imported from Ukraine have raised our great concern,” Russian chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko said earlier. “First of all, this concerns Roshen’s candies.”
Meanwhile, Roshen hasn't received any official notification from Rospotrebnadzor about the ban of its products' supplies to Russia. “We’ve not received an official document yet,” the report says.
