The Tyumen chain of stores "Svetofor" was fined 700,000 rubles for selling meat laced with antibiotics.

Svetofor had previously been fined 300,000 rubles for similar violations. Inspections revealed that 90% of the chain's stores were selling products with expired expiration dates and without the necessary veterinary documentation.
