U.S. fake meat manufacturer Beyond Meat has fallen foul of Russia’s countersanctions on Western food imports, the Kommersant business daily reported Thursday.
Imports of Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat alternatives have been suspended due to a dispute over whether the products violate Russia’s sweeping ban on Western agricultural products.
Kommersant reported that Russian customs officials believe Beyond Meat products fall under the embargo and have halted all imports. A spokesperson for distributor Alianta Group confirmed it had suspended supplies to Russia, citing the dispute with Russia’s customs authorities as well as a global container ship deficit.
The customs service has refused to release Beyond Meat products into Russia since at least July, when legal proceedings over the matter were launched, the paper said.
