On February 13, 2025, an incident involving the detection of plant pests in grain-based products was reported. This issue originated from Kazakhstan and falls under the category of foreign bodies. The notification was issued by Россельхознадзор, also known as the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance.
