Summary

[edit]
Description

PRINT A A A Russia's consumer watchdog has ordered the closure of four McDonald's restaurants in Moscow citing "numerous violations" of the country's sanitary laws.

Watchdog Rospotrebnadzor said branches on Pushkin Square, the first McDonald's opened in Russia in 1990, Manezh Square and Prospect Mira in central Moscow would be temporarily shut as part of an ongoing investigation into the chain's food standards.

Several politicians, including the nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, have criticised the chain and called for the country to close all McDonald's outlets in Russia after the burger chain announced it would close its branches in the Crimean peninsula in April.

The closures come against a backdrop of worsening US-Russian ties over the crisis in Ukraine. Earlier this month, the Kremlin banned food imports from the West in retaliation over Russia's alleged involvement with separatists suspected of shooting down a passenger plane flying over rebel territory on 17 July.
