Since July 2013, Russia has banned all Roshen imports due to unsatisfying packaging labelling .
The Russian authority Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) reached a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ukrainian government that included phased reintroduction of Roshen products into Russia. This came with the proviso that every batch was tested by, accredited laboratories. Why was Roshen ousted? Russia banned imports from Roshen in July this year due to allegedly high levels of toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) Benzo[a]pyrene found in Roshen chocolate. The ban came soon after the Ukrainian government imposed an emergency import tax on cars, making car exportation more costly for Russia. Moldova, Tadzhikistan, Kazakhstan and Belarus conducted their own investigations , but found no health risks from Roshen chocolate. Ukraine to restore economic relations with Russia The Russian ban was lifted on the day the Ukrainian Prime Minister announced his country would begin negotiations with Russia to restore economic relations. Roshen was asked for comment, but a response was not forthcoming. The company previously told the site which published the article that Russian authorities had never visited Roshens factories before imposing the ban and had even failed to inform the Ukrainian company on the rationale for the ban before the news became public.
