Russia’s agro watchdog finds coliform bacteria in Chile’s trout and mussels

Russia’s agricultural watchdog found coliform bacteria in Chile’s trout and frozen cooked mussels, Rosselkhoznadzor’s press service said on Saturday. “Laboratory tests showed that a frozen trout exported by Chile’s Agroindustrial Santa Cruz LTDA contained listeria and frozen trout from Salmones Andes S.A. and a batch of frozen cooked mussels from FYS CHILE S.A. contained a group of coliform bacteria,” Rosselkhoznadzor said in its statement noting that it imposed a temporary ban on the export of products from the above-mentioned companies. Chile’s veterinary service was notified of inadmissibility of such violations.
