The Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Monitoring Service (Rosselkhoznadzor) says they have discovered salmonella, roots of listeriosis, and alive larva of threadworms in seafood imported from Norway.
“We had negotiations with Norwegian Food Safety Agency (Mattilsynet), but did not achieve understanding”, representative of Rosselkhoznadzor Aleksey Alekseenko says to Gazeta.ru.
Rosselkhoznadzor threatens to stop fresh Norwegian fish delivery until Norway starts following the Russian legislation rules. If the ban is imposed, cheap Norwegian salmon and trout disappear from Russian shops, and will be replaced by expensive fish from the Far East.
