Whiskas, Felix, Chappi, Pedigree, Pro Plan, Gourmet and Darling foods may temporarily disappear from sale in Russia. Reason: ban on the import of additives for their manufacture due to the outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease virus in the EU.
Your tailed animals' favorite treats may soon disappear from stores. Because almost all European livestock are involved in their production: cows, pigs, birds, and so on. And from them they make additives necessary for production. For example, imported flavors and flavor enhancers. Which we almost never create.
The first outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Germany in 37 years was announced on January 9. And already on the 20th, Rosselkhoznadzor temporarily banned the import of European ingredients for eating tailed animals. Chairman of the National Association of the Pet Industry Kirill Dmitriev told Mash that it is impossible to predict how quickly the virus will be contained in the EU. This could lead to a freeze in production, as it could take months to create and test new domestic supplements.
UPD. The feed manufacturer reassures: we will not allow shortages, because additives prohibited for import have been purchased in advance in sufficient quantities. Plus, a request was sent to the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences to promptly certify a proven foreign enterprise that produces the necessary additive without foot-and-mouth disease and will cover all needs in the future.
