MOSCOW--Russia has indefinitely suspended imports of canned
vegetables, fruits and fish from Ukraine beginning Tuesday, the
country's chief consumer regulator said on its website Monday.
The regulator, Rospotrebnadzor, cited violations of legal
requirements relating to the protection of consumer rights by
several Ukrainian producers, from improper labeling to lack of
nutrients and insufficient mass in sold goods.
After inspecting a number of factories and canning facilities
last week the regulator made a decision to install an indefinite
ban, the statement said.
Late last week the Russian agriculture regulator banned imports
of Ukrainian milk and milk products, which took effect Monday.
