The Russian veterinary service, Rosselkhoznadzor, will implement provisional restrictions against Kirkenes Processing as from May 21, shutting it out of the Russian market.
The restrictions apply to both fresh and frozen salmon, the agency said on its website.
Last week the Russian veterinary service announced that exports from Kirkenes Processing had not been approved, after products from the company had been subject for a period of time to intensified laboratory examination.
Salmon imports from Sotra Fiskeindustri have now been approved, after products from the company had been subject for a period of time to intensified laboratory examination.
