Contaminated fruit ended up on the shelves of Sverdlovsk stores.
A consignment of imported fruit arrived in Yekaterinburg with quarantine pests — 17 tonnes of Iranian kiwifruit and 20 tonnes of Turkish lemons. Despite the violations found, the products were allowed to be sold in stores in the city and region, the Rosselkhoznadzor press service reported.
"During phytosanitary inspection, quarantine pests were found: mulberry scale on the kiwifruit and red orange scale on the lemons," the agency clarified.
According to a decision of the EAEU Council, however, fruits with these types of scale insects are permitted for sale. They do not pose a danger to humans — the fruits should be washed thoroughly before consumption.
