Employees of the Rosselkhoznadzor of the Primorsky Territory are known for their increased vigilance and scrupulousness. And in most cases, these qualities help them not only to confidently guard the quality of goods entering the domestic market from abroad, but also to identify violators and food saboteurs in a timely manner.

So this week, coastal surveillance workers detained a large consignment of meat products that arrived on the shores of the Russian Federation from Argentina. It is known that both countries recently concluded an agreement on large deliveries of high-quality meat from Latin American pastures directly to Russian trading floors. The sellers were looking forward to the vaunted meat of Argentinean cows, but in reality it turned out to be not so “ideal”.

Yesterday, February 27, 2019, a merchant ship moored in the port of Vladivostok with 14.3 tons of Argentine frozen meat. Here are just the accompanying documents, food delivery vendors did not have with them. In the course of further inspection, it turned out that about 870 kilograms of meat did not have the required supporting documents indicating that the goods received an authorizing veterinary report.

Suppliers of Latin American beef assured the coastal employees of the Rosselkhoznadzor that in the near future they will settle all the problems and get the missing documents. After elimination of the revealed violations, the cargo can still be accepted for further transportation and sale. Here are just the following checks of Argentinean meat will be even more thorough, and suppliers from then on are under special control, assure Rosselkhoznadzor.
