Tengrinews.kz - Tests have found no traces of dangerous bacteria in Kazakh poultry exported to Russia, Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov announced.
"The information was not confirmed. We conducted our own tests just in case, took samples, and waited 10 days. The results came out yesterday—everything is fine, no issues. Exports are continuing as usual, though Russia has increased control over Makinsk Poultry Farm as a precaution. Overall, operations are running smoothly, and there are no export problems. It was probably a technical mistake," Saparov said at a government briefing.
Earlier, Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor) reported detecting Listeria bacteria in a sample taken from a batch of chilled broiler fillets produced by Makinsk Poultry Farm. The agency subsequently imposed enhanced laboratory controls on the manufacturer.
However, the information was later removed from the Russian agency’s official website.
Listeria is a bacterium that causes the infectious disease listeriosis and can affect the central nervous system and reproductive organs. It is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, cancer patients, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The incubation period lasts up to 90 days. The primary route of infection is through food.
