The Russian consumer protection agency has impounded over 9,000 bottles of the "Nabeghlavi" Georgian mineral water in the Moscow region, Georgian and Russian news agencies reported on April 18. The move comes three days after the Russian consumer protection agency announced that it has found “a large number of falsified and low quality” Georgian mineral water “Borjomi” on the Russian markets. Despite this announcement about the low quality of Georgian mineral waters, the Russian consumer protection agency has not yet banned the import of these products. 80% of Georgia's most prominent mineral water Borjomi is exported abroad – more than half of this amount to Russia, while 40% goes to 27 other countries around the world, according to the Georgian Glass & Mineral Waters Company, which produces Borjomi. Russia banned the import of Georgian wine on March 27, claiming that they were contaminated with pesticides. |
