ARMENIAN AGENCY ORDERS ADDITIONAL TESTS FOR SOME IMPORTED FOODS
YEREVAN, August 13. / ARKA /. Armenia's State Food Safety Service,
an affiliation of the Ministry of Agriculture, said it has ordered
additional lab tests for a string of foods imported from Brazil,
Belarus, the Netherlands, the U.S. and New Zealand, which may have
E.coli and salmonella pathogen.
The State Food Safety Service said if the invoices for the goods
conform with Armenian law requirements, the imported goods will not
be subjected to additional laboratory examination.
"However, given media reports that frozen and canned meat, imported
from Brazil as well as smoked meat and cottage cheese brought from
Belarus, poultry meat brought from the Netherlands, fish brought from
the U.S. and lamb from New Zealand may have E. coli and salmonella
pathogen, the head of the State Food Safety Service ordered August
13 that all border checkpoints of the agency conduct additional
laboratory tests of these products," the agency said in a statement.
