Russia Shuts Moscow McDonalds Due To "Sanitary Breaches"
Sanctions blowback? Russian food safety watchdog Rospotrebnadzor has ordered the closure of four McDonalds restaurants in Moscow, according to Reuters, due to "numerous sanitary breaches."
- *MOSCOW TEMPORARILY CLOSES SEVERAL MCDONALD'S RESTAURANTS
This was not entirely a surprise since Russia had previously raised concerns over McDonalds cheese and was angered when the fast-food restaurant ceased operations in Crimea. This also comes on the heels of McDonalds problems in China and Japan over food supply issues. It appears the "tangible losses" Putin promised, are beginning.
Full Rospotrebnador statement:
About inspections fast food McDonald's
Moscow, 08.20.2014, the Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow during the supervisory activities with the sampling of raw materials, food and swabs from the objects of the environment with regard to fast food McDonald's (JSC "Moscow-McDonald's" and OOO "McDonald's") 18 - 20 August 2014 revealed numerous violations of the sanitary legislation.
According to the facts of violations August 20, 2014 specialists Rospotrebnadzor Moscow filed cases on administrative offenses under Art. Art. 6.6, 8.2, h. 1 14.43 of the Code of Administrative Offences, drawn up on the temporary ban on the activities of fast food McDonald's: JSC "Moscow-McDonald's" (Free ave .. d. 35B st. B. Bronnaya. 29 ), OOO "McDonald's" (Mira ave., d. 97, Manezh Square, d. 1, p. 2). Case files are prepared for transfer to the courts in the manner prescribed by law. Verification activities specified network companies will continue.
Multiple violations of sanitary norms were detected in the sourcing of food and waste disposal of McDonald’s restaurants during inspections carried out between the 18th and 20th of August,” said an official statement from the watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor.
The company has said that it will study the allegations against its franchises, and “will do everything to ensure that the restaurants open as soon as possible.”
“McDonald’s main priority is offering its customers quality and safe produce,” said a statement on the McDonald’s website.
The first checks took place in the northwestern city of Veliky Novgorod in May.
“The Caesar roll and vegetable salad have been found to contain microbe pollution with E.Coli bacteria and 10 times the safe level of microbes,” the watchdog said in a statement back then. ‘This attests to the fact that the staff breached personal hygiene rules, and the corporate sanitary disinfection regime.”

...Dat be Ekonomic rayciss Vlad...btw...Where can one get Southern Fried Chicken and Watermelon in Moscow?
Good work by the Moscow authorities shutting down Rotten Ronnies. An objective observer need only look at the typical MacDonalds consumer to see the results of consuming garbage.

Seriously, can you blame the Russian men for banning rotten ronnies?
Yeah, the Eastern European/Russian gals are beautiful. Fit Americans, all 10 of them, are also hot.
Problem with 'Hot' american women are that they have maximum entitlement, minimum output. The Russian girls get who pays the bills and deliver accordingly.
My favorite Mcdonalds pic was taken in one of their toilets:

BREAKING NEWS....MAYOR McCHEESE to make formal protest...
Enter the Hamburglar!
I can see new Golden Arches signs going up in Russia....
Billions and Billions Not Served
How is this going to affect the McDonalds Burger Index?
Is Russia's inflation going to go up or down?
No Pink Slime today for you comrade.
What is amazing is the Russians probably pay for their own food and not with EBT cards at McDonalds like Ferguson, MO.
McCOmmunism
And yet the sheeple still eat that shit up here in the states.
Amerika we #1
The Russians are being silly. There is no way any bacteria can live in McDonald's food..it's kinda it's own antibiotic.
Are you saying McDonald's sells 'food'?
No, that would be slander.
LOL
Considering how many different shapes, sizes and colors 'food' takes when coming out of our garden this summer, I suspect anything described as 'food' that is exactly the same whether coming from a McDonalds in California or Maine isn't "food" any longer.
Genuine imitation might be a better description.
Authentic Foodlike Substitute is the proper term.
Ex: Wood pulp and that yoga mat stuff.
You see Cog, McDonalds in the US is part of the Corporate/Social Welfare system. The FSA gets welfare to buy food, the Corps get welfare to keep food prices low, and that's how it works. I wish everyone could afford organic food but it ain't gonna happen, especially as the West becomes poorer and more financially balanced with the rest of the world. Not too long ago in the US, welfare food was bologna, cheese blocks and powdered milk you would have to pick up yourself at the local gov distribution center, we will sooner have to go back to that than expecting the welfare corps to serve real food.
Welfare expansionism in action! http://www.christianpost.com/news/fast-food-chains-lobby-government-to-e...
There were 4 states that already allows it, last I read.
I do have a modifier there. I am applying the word McDonalds to food. Thus it is no longer actually food in the real sense. Perhaps McDonalds material would have been more acurate. (?)
Au contraire, with the amount of sodium they get mummified and are a threat for millenia.
"And yet the sheeple still eat that shit up here in the states.

Actually I was in Sri Lanka 2 years ago and noticed a long line at McDonalds. 100 feet away there's some guy on the street roasting chickens over charcoal with no business. I asked some local standing on line why choose McDonalds over the street vendors, she said because of sanitary reasons. Idiocracy is a Global phenomenon Bitchez!
Yeah I don't doubt it.
People assume because it's a big business it must be safe, good, and in their best interest. Same with bank, pharm company's and of
Local business are tryin to establish themselfs and they rely on good customer service, quality, and sanitation. These applies to almost every locally owned business. Yet they are the ones who are shunned.
Let the masses have their cake.
Only to be replaced by Sum Ting Wong, Chinese takeout. Or is it Sum Wong Wing Chicken.
Globalism Bitchez. Wait till the Derivatives and Credit Linkages come into play.
Labor is already in play as business shut down leads to layoffs.
Is it fair that White westerners should earn such disproportionately high salaries compared to the rest of the World? No. it's not fair. Thats why the communist workers of the World are united for the NWO.
I heard Vlad read about the $15 an hour fast food worker mandate in Seattle, and said,
"Christ, Gorby in his hay day wouldn't have thought that was a good idea, lets shut em down now, and keep the protestors at home, that sickness could spread"!
The health inspectors must have found some pubic hairs in the happy(ending) meals.
Nice one Itchy....+100
In other news, Pepto Bismol and toilet paper sales plummet.
pods
:-)))))))))))))))))
that's ok, I go to Chipotle when I am in Moscow
McPink slime.
Lol. Pinko slime?
Mc PS. Yup, that works.
"America never went to war with a country that had a McDonald's"
Well, Putin has thrown down the gauntlet. How dare Putin attack fast, fake, noxious food that America consumes a mountain of everyday?
I think that was a meme 10 years ago OR something like that.
Globalism was to mean "Economic War" instead of "real war", and USA & Maybe Western Europe) would never attack a country with McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell or Pepsi Products.
But maybe that came from Wall Street when US Dollars started flowing into investments in China.
You ever notice the biggest American flags flying in a neighborhood tend to be at a McDonalds. Just think of the subtle association people put to that symbolism over time having to see the 2 intertwined in such a fashion and how it changes what the meaning of that flag should and turns its symbolic McMeaning into McPatriotism.
good, really dun need these so called happy meals. They are more like toxic meals.
By comparison to Detroit, Chicago, or St. Louis, Moscow is pretty fucking clean. So, wow.
What do you mean by CLEAN?????? : )
As I clearly imply, it's all relative.
You are correct...
Feed people unhealthy shit, no problem, but let the people in Crimea vote who's their daddy in a far off the land, no fucking way
Ebola?
Dr S. Is your avatar a sleestak? Just threw me back 35 years. LOTL had to be the worst "special" effects in TV history.
I'm upvoting you for new avatar of the week.
They should shut all McDonalds down on concerns of carcinogenic food! Stick it to em Putin!
I wonder if carcinogenic is all that's wrong with it. MSG has always played a part in creating addictive food. MSG or sometin' similar?
Burn those McDonalds down. That will give a clear message.
Do it for Trayvon.
This would never have happened if Bill Clinton were still Prez.
Not really sure if it's sanctions related, part of the big picture there.
Russia seems to have been trying to clean-up their food supply with the banning of GMO's and such, giving a place like McDonalds the boot is a logical next step to protect the health of the population.
Chains and franchises pushing out mom & pop have really made our country deviod of any local charm, and the corporate food is terrible for you, Russia maybe trying to stop this trend in their country before Russia becomes a huge coast - to - coast shopping mall like USSA.
Probably partly, environmental health issues are a good way of avoiding WTO action or delaying it for years.
Good. Because Mc D's will turn beautiful Russian women into American/Canada cows. The world needs more beautiful women and less GMO fatties.
Exactly! Just look at what Taco Bell did to Mexican women!
Men too. A local MCD's male manager did a full page ad for a weight loss doctor. In it, he claimed to have lost over 100 lbs. Last time I saw him, it looked like he'd gained it all back!
ba da bop bop boooop i'm lovin it!
Big McIvan w/ Beetfries please......
If it's not even food, how can it be a sanitary breach?
Is there a thing called sanitary GMO?
Mickey D's...
No more McShit
Mickey D's breaches make you bitches breech your britches.
You know you're living in a corrupt society when all TPTB must do to shut down their opposition is enforce the official rules and regulations on them, and not others.
US to soon retaliate against popular Russian food including......uh... never mind.
Fish head soup and turnups.....
EWWWWWWYYYUUUMMMMYYYYY
Good idea. I would have shut them all down if it were me.
Soon people will be worried about Ebola burgers.
Restaurants, bars and eateries are ripe to see a huge decline in patrons as soon as Ebola infected workers spread the disease.
Think of Typhoid Mary and a version of that for Ebola in the US and Europe.
Stay in bed a little late

Clade, lol, but your not going to have any staff left if you get all totalitarian like that.
Actually, McDonalds in Russia is owned by McDonalds Canada, (George Cohon) and of course Canada sent some military equipment as NATO representative to Ukraine....
but I heard the real reason for the trouble is that McD's refused to change the Poutine Fries to Putin Fries....
That's it, only Freedom Dressing for me from now on.
putinic messin wid kosher dynamite semtex heres.
burghers are der bill gates vaccine input bun and human meat gateway.
how can we expect the cancer and population rates to rise without are human shop front output going into belly input.
vaccine is the juice folks human dna burghers the vaccine vitamin pathway.
my guess is burger companies will employ academie blackwater and soros ngo units into st petersburg for a sept freedom maidan
bullet in hearts and head incoming.
this human meat can then be added to all the missing children that get processed into burgher.
'Missing children that get processed into burger' ...Tony, even for you thats of the deep end, time to take another pill I think.
eye know a bloke who knows a bloke.
now you donte know this bloke but eye do.
now dis bloke did some work for a case involving a fast food chain samples where taken human dna found.
many cases covered up with payoffs and nda init
get a burger brudder get it tested i cannot promise you it will be a child or a 50 year old homeless hobo init but traces of us yes sir.
human dna is all over the processed food industry i talkin blood and meat parts as well as shit and piss.
they even use baby abortions to generate power via furnace but again that just sounds crazy and cannot be true
the fact is you have eaten humans many many times sometimes not directly sometimes pigs eat human you eat pig.
befriend some one that works in a lab get them to test.
look at the stats for missing kids that are never seen again never ever found meat processing yes human meat is big serious and very corporate.

So they're shutting down RUSSIAN businesses to punish the west? That makes sense. Idiots.
Presumably, people who used to eat in those Macs joints will now eat elsewhere. Possibly in a Russian joint that sells nice, hot Borsch ;-)
Imagine that :-)
Those franchise owners are future political enemies, just like Khordokovsky. Russia would do themselves a favor to copy and subsidize reopening these stores as a Russian brand. They've already had the good sense to ban queer propaganda, which is a Western tool.
mac importing the food
BBBOOOOOMMMMMUUUUURRRRAAANNNGGGGGGGG
Shutting down McDonalds is so "Soviet Union".
Done the world a favour.
That's Putin's nomination for Nobel prize for chemistry or medicine secured then...happy days.
“The Caesar roll and vegetable salad have been found to contain microbe pollution with E.Coli bacteria and 10 times the safe level of microbes,” the watchdog said in a statement back then. ‘This attests to the fact that the staff breached personal hygiene rules, and the corporate sanitary disinfection regime.”
this is so effing funny, I keep getting visuals of MacD's workers in the US, and their customers.
brutal.
“McDonald’s main priority is offering its customers quality and safe produce"
What a lame statement. A robot would have done a better job at stringing nicey cooing words together.
off topic but what a difference between Putin and the 2 clowns (and traitors to Russia) before him, Boris and Gorbi
Yes, that's why Washington is so desperate to get him out -- he stand for Russia.
Just driving by my local McDonalds is a sanitary breach. Germs can leap onto moving cars, recent studies have shown.
Is germ the new ghetto slang for homey?
Watching people comment on how culturally deaf Americans are, and how little we know of other places, while also commenting about 'American Cuisine', 'McDonalds', and 'Consequences to the American Economy' is really delicious.
The irony is truly wonderful.
For the record:
McDonalds is fast food and looks nothing like traditional american cuisine. It most closely resembles the American Worker's 'Sack-Lunch' that allowed workers of the past to continue working without a formal lunch break.
You know this is before the 'cultural revolution' when people actually knew how to prepare their own food.
McDonalds are FRANCHISES. The owner of the local golden arches is probably a local corporation or company - or even individual - who have simply purchased a franchise license and kit. When I was in school one of the cheerleader's dads owned one store.
The observation by some that Americans are culturally ignorant, while displaying equal or greater cultural ignorance is, in a word, priceless.
P.S. Rosinter - a Russian Company - owns McDonalds franchises in Moscow and St Peterburg.
But do they also use pink slime?
Sort of. But it is more red slime than pink slime. Their slime is made from beets - like Borsch.
You don't want to know all the things that it makes turn red.
And instead of fry sauce, they use Sour Cream.
And while shakes are popular as a novelty, they also have kefir.
And in addition to traditional salad toppings in the US like feta cheese or salad dressing, they also have tvorog and...sour cream
(Russians apparently really, really like sour cream...and about 50 different dairy products that aren't generally seen in the US... like baked milk "Ryazhinka" and several others... mMMMM... Tasty. Dairy must be a big business in Russia.)
But they don't really have omlets (breakfast or otherwise). They do have something they call 'Omlet' but it is not what most of us would recognize.
And a real tragedy...they apparently don't do scrambled eggs... My russian relatives wondered what the heck the whip was for, and why I put milk in the eggs I made.
Thomas Friedman invented a theory in 1996 called the McDonald's theory of war, that is no country with a McDonald's outlet has ever gone to war with another.
That theory was of course proved to be in error during the 2008 Russian-Georgian war. Now it seem to be erroneous a second time!
Initially, MCD's branched out mostly in US dominated countries following the US military, making Friedman sound like he knew what he was talking about. Then, they needed to move into less friendly places to support unsustainable growth rates to placate shareholders (new stores always show faster growth than established joints). Nowadays, they'll make up for it with saw dust and duck feathers.
Fillet "Oh" Fish!
How is Burger King doing in Russia?
Is Buffet working with Putin?
Oh no! Where you going to eat now?
They should shut them all down. Their population would be a lot healthier if they don't eat there! {grin}
E.Coli with that burger, please?
Putin has finally come around to my line of thinking on this subject. Now, my only job is to convince the rest of the World.
Try that in an American city.
Wake me when the Russians enter Tel Aviv.
Lol..America should impose this as a sanction, not Russia.
That's why north Korea is invincible, they haven't tasted a Big Mac yet. Obama should just airdrop Big Macs and Quarter pounders on them. On everybody in fact. Ferguson, isis, the kurds, Israël, hamas...its what everybody is after.
Im sure you can go to four McDs in any large city and find reason to close them
