According to Moscow Times, Russia will temporarily curb pork and beef imports from Brazil after monitors detected a banned growth stimulator in meat shipments.
The veterinary watchdog announced Monday that it planned to freeze beef and pork imports from Brazil starting Dec. 1. The regulator said it made the decision after this year's lab tests turned up ractopamine, a feed additive used to promote leanness in meat.
Brazil accounts for 90 percent of Russia's imported pork and 40 percent of beef.
