Russia: Feeds Containing GE Ingredients
Recently, the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (VPSS) at the Ministry of Agriculture announced several cases of imported animal feeds and feed supplements that had not properly registered the GE (genetically engineered) soybean content in the feed. The Government of Russia requires that GE content of feeds be notified as a part of the feed registration process. In two cases, VPSS temporarily suspended imports of the product. None of the feeds were of U.S. origin.
