Overview
- Rospotrebnadzor ordered a sales stop on roughly 138,000 units via Operator‑CRPT and activated cash‑register blocks through the Chestny Znak system.
- Eleven samples from three batches were collected in Moscow for analysis at the FBUZ Center, and a source said additional control and retail samples from the Penza plant were dispatched to the capital.
- The action followed reports from a Magnit store in New Moscow that multiple bottles appeared to contain a technical solvent, with the retailer pulling the drink and launching an internal audit.
- Regulators opened an unscheduled on‑site inspection of Magnit’s parent AO Tander and asked the e‑commerce industry association to ensure marketplaces stop any distant sales.
- Producer Velta‑Penza is under inspection, received an order to suspend on‑site batches, and the Penza district prosecutor is reviewing a reported case of a child’s illness linked to the beverage.
