A batch of sanctioned cheese weighing less than 10 kilograms was destroyed in the Chelyabinsk region, the Ural Interregional Directorate of Rosselkhoznadzor reported the day before.
By the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated August 7, 2014, No. 778, a list of agricultural products, raw materials, and foodstuffs that are prohibited for import into the Russian Federation was approved, as well as a list of countries, the supervisory agency reminded.
This list of countries includes: the USA, EU countries, Canada, Australia, Norway, Ukraine, Albania, Montenegro, Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein, the United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland.
According to the requirements of the legislation, products of a sanctioned nature are destroyed.
European-origin cheese was found with three sellers trading dairy products in the "Priisk" shopping complex in the city of Chelyabinsk. A total of about 9.7 kg of the product was seized.
The transport prosecutor's office is considering the issue of holding the owners of the products accountable.
The owners of the products violated the requirements of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated August 6, 2014, No. 560 "On the application of certain special economic measures to ensure the security of the Russian Federation."
On Thursday, March 26, 2026, under the control of officials from the Ural Interregional Directorate of Rosselkhoznadzor, Chelyabinsk Customs, the Chelyabinsk Transport Prosecutor's Office, and witnesses, the batch of cheese was destroyed in the boiler room of the Krasnoarmeysky district of the Chelyabinsk region.
In 2026, this is the first seized and destroyed batch of sanctioned animal products, noted the regional Rosselkhoznadzor.
In 2025, under the control of the agency, 240 cans of canned cod liver produced in Iceland and about 40 kg of cheese produced in Germany, Italy, France, Finland, and the Netherlands were seized from circulation and destroyed.
It is noteworthy that almost 4 kilograms of cheese from Germany were found by inspectors in the same "Priisk."
