Russia Begins Closing McDonald’s Restaurants
Consumer watchdog closes four Moscow branches following inspections, in move seen by critics as part of sanctions war
Russia has shut down four McDonald’s restaurants in Moscow for sanitary violations after a consumer watchdog filed a suit demanding certain burgers and milkshakes be banned on the grounds the fat, protein, carbohydrates and calories they contain “deviate widely from technical norms”.
“Violations have been found that put the quality and safety of food products in doubt for the whole McDonald’s chain,” said Anna Popova, Russia’s head sanitary inspector.
The Golden Arches are now in the Kremlin’s crosshairs as ties between Moscow and Washington have fallen to their lowest point since the end of the Cold War. Restaurants are being forced to close amid claims the restaurant is misleading customers about what they are actually being served.
Reuters reports that the national consumer watchdog claims McDonald’s is deceiving consumers about the energy value of its Cheeseburger Royales, Filet-o-Fish, Cheeseburgers and Chicken Burgers and about nutritional value of its milkshakes and ice creams.
Its also said in a statement that Caesar wrap sandwiches and a vegetable salad were contaminated with coliform bacteria, which indicates the likelihood of food poisoning.
According to Russia 24, one survey suggests 60% of Russians think all McDonald’s restaurants should be closed.
