Russia expands embargo on canned sprats
13:55
According to the Russian Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor), a company from Poland that exported sprats in olive oil provided incorrect data on the product's energy values and amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Following the incident, Russia expanded its embargo on canned sprats.
The embargo on EU meat, fruit, vegetables and dairy products was introduced in 2014 as retaliation for Western sanctions that were imposed as a result of Russia's annexation of Crimea.
