CPS continues to struggle with American symbols. Following the massive checks restaurants MacDonald’s Office has come for Jack Daniel’s whiskey and Jim Beam, finding in them a remedy for scabies. Earlier, Federal Service banned the sale of whiskey Kentucky Gentleman. This is a result of the war of sanctions, Jack Daniel’s – the same symbol of America as Coca-Cola and MacDonald’s, experts say.
The American whiskey has drawn renewed attention Rospotrebnadzora. On Friday, on its official website, regulators put message under the heading “The situation is under control of whiskey Rospotrebnadzora.” With reference to its regional office in the Sverdlovsk Region Federal Office announced revealed violations in the sale of “Jack Deniel’s Tennessee whiskey” and “Jim Beam. American whiskey. Bourbon “made in the USA.
Jim Beam – the most popular in the world of bourbon, which is produced in the American Claremont (Kentucky) at the end of the XVIII century.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, Jim Beam whiskey sold labeled “do not meet the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation.” Jack Daniel’s also contains harmful impurities.
«The results of laboratory tests as a part of liquor” Jack Deniel’s Tennessee Honey Liqueur “(Fortress 35%, manufactured by” Jack Daniel Distillery “, USA) revealed the contents of benzyl benzoic acid, which has sensitizing properties, causes allergic reactions, may cause functional changes in the central, peripheral nervous system, widely used as an acaricide (protivokleschevye. – “Times”) means “, – stated in the federal service.
«With regard to economic entities, which was identified implementation of whiskey and liquor with the above violations, instituted administrative proceedings. Activities continue “, – the press-service agency.
As explained previously,” the Newspaper “in the Federal Service, the claims relate to not separate the consignment, and the specific name of the manufacturer as a whole.
To the question, do you have plans for any further (additional) test American alcoholic beverages in the federal service said that they monitor the quality of food safety Rospotrebnadzorom performed on a regular basis, regardless of the country of origin.
the United States – the second-largest supplier of whiskey in Russia after the United Kingdom, it is the main category of American exports of alcoholic beverages. In this case, whiskey made in the USA accounts for only 7.6% of total imports of whiskey in Russia. During the first half of our country imported 1.24 million liters of bourbon.
Stamps Jim Beam and Jack Daniel’s owned American company Brown-Forman, based in Louisville, Kentucky. The company owns 20 brands of alcoholic and controls the release of its alcoholic products for 144 years. Whiskey from Brown-Forman sold in 160 countries around the world. The company is among the top 10 producers of alcohol in the world.
In the “Braunschweig Foreman Rus “, a spokesman for the brand Jack Daniel’s in Russia, argue that the quality of the brand can not be doubted. The company issued a statement in which it explains that Tennessee Honey – whiskey liqueur based on and in accordance with the technical regulations in Russia are classified as “hard liquor.” Requirements for the whiskey and drink different. For example, the presence of “Jack Deniel’s Tennessee Honey Liqueur” honey and sugar legitimate and complies with the Russian technical regulations on alcohol products.
«Brown-Forman Rus” plans to conduct an independent examination the quality of their drinking, says the director of the Center for Federal and Regional Alcohol Markets (TSIFRRA) Vadim Drobiz.
This is the second time in the last two weeks, when the American whiskey falls under the ban. August 4 CPS found “hazardous substances” in Kentucky Gentleman whiskey brand Barton 1792 Distillery. “In that alcoholic drinks found phthalates, which are capable of producing functional and further organic changes in the central and peripheral nervous system, the endocrine system, as well as cancer and infertility problems in men and women,” – said while in office. In addition, it was reported that this alcoholic beverage is not received quality certificates required for the market of the Customs Union.
A representative of the Ural Customs had previously stated that alcoholic products, which checked the CPS in the Sverdlovsk region, is the original, had been brought from the United States. This is an important clarification, says Vadim Drobiz. “The fact is that in Russia, in basements and garages, produced 10 million liters of spirits, whose membership: alcohol, water, coloring and flavoring agents,” – he said. Customs statement means that the abnormalities found in the true American whiskey, and not in domestic counterfeits.
«American alcohol died a heroic death in the” war of sanctions “that are now the EU and the USA on the one hand and Russia on the other,” – said Drobiz. According to him, Jack Daniel’s – it is a symbol of American success and the Western way of life, on a par with Cola-Cola and MacDonalds, and the message that it found the remedy for mites – a blow to the image.
It is estimated TSIFRRA, whiskey drinking in Russia about 20 million of the 100 million consumers of alcohol. According to Rosstat, the Russians drink at the year about 40 million liters of strong alcohol, received from abroad. Another 10 million liters – domestic counterfeiting and falsification. “If we compare with the consumption of vodka, the whiskeys will lose. According to official statistics, the annual consumption of vodka and other alcoholic beverages in Russia – 1.3 billion liters. And 40% of all imported whiskey consumed in Moscow, income allows, “- says Drobiz.
If the premium alcohol from the United States banned the majority of Russians do not even notice, the expert said. But feel the middle class, for whom whiskey – a status drink. “Another surprise: the Federal Service for the year brings about 3% of the total falsification, filling the domestic market of alcohol. But at the same time hit the world brands, in the premium segment, where quality control is traditionally high, “- says Drobiz.
According to the poll, the ban on imports from the United States and the EU support the 84% of Russians, and only 9% opposed them.
In the Public Chamber of Russia has offered to prohibit state agencies to buy imported drinks and snacks for ceremonial events. According to a member of OP Mikhail Lermontov, officials “are not burdened by any obligations, including moral, and therefore continue to drink from the budget of the French mineral water.” And not just water.
If we abuse for the state account, you should limit the domestic alcohol – vodka and Crimean wines. In the near future Lermontov promised to come up with an appropriate legislative initiative.
