In Yakutia, the Rosselkhoznadzor Office selected more than 120 samples of food products supplied to social institutions

All samples for laboratory research were sent to the Irkutsk branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "ARRIAH" and the Federal State Budgetary Institution "VGNKI". Products are examined for many indicators, including the presence or absence of heavy metals, antibiotics and other antibacterial agents.

Based on the test results, it was established that 4 of the selected samples do not meet the requirements of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union. The presence of residual drugs was detected in locally produced ground beef and “Molochnye” sausages: ofloxacin , enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and in a sample of UHT drinking MILK 2.5% - tetracycline . In addition, the presence of antibiotics was detected in minced chicken from the Stavropol Territory (ZAO Baysad). 

In relation to 2 local manufacturers (Khotu-As LLC and individual entrepreneur A.L. Zhzhenykh), in agreement with the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic, unscheduled on-site inspections were carried out, administrative protocols were drawn up under Part 1 of Art. 14.43 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, as well as Yakutsky Gormolzavod LLC and Baysad CJSC (Kislovodsk) issued warnings.
