A batch of beef gelatin returned to Turkey from the port of Novorossiysk

The cargo followed from Turkey to the address of the consignee from the Republic of Dagestan.

In the course of documentary control, it was established that documents confirming that the batch of gelatin was produced from edible bovine skin (food grade) subjected to heat treatment, which guarantees the destruction of foot-and-mouth disease virus, in accordance with Article 8.8.35 of the OIE Code, were not provided.

However, according to the letter of the ROSSELKHOZNADZOR , temporary restrictions on foot-and-mouth disease have been introduced on the import of livestock products that have not been subjected to heat treatment, which guarantees the destruction of the foot-and-mouth disease virus.

Based on the legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union in the field of veterinary medicine, on May 27, 2023, a decision was made to return the cargo.
