In April 2025, ROSSELKHOZNADZOR (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance) specialists conducted inspections at three stores in the chain and discovered that MEAT containing antibiotics and other veterinary drugs, as well as soy DNA, was being sold in excess of permissible levels . These products pose a HEALTH risk to consumers. Despite company representatives' arguments that quality control should be the responsibility of manufacturers, the COURT rejected their arguments. 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.
