Russia’s consumer protection watchdog has banned the import and sale of Armenian Jermuk mineral water in the country.
According to a Rospotrebnadzor statement, excessive levels of bicarbonates, chlorine and sulfates were detected in the water.
“Misleading information regarding products with medicinal purposes may lead to ineffective treatment and deterioration of health,” the agency said in its statement.
The ban took effect immediately.
Earlier, at the end of April this year, Rospotrebnadzor had already prohibited the import and sale of a batch of Jermuk mineral water produced between October 23, 2025 and February 17, 2026. At the time, the agency also stated that excessive levels of bicarbonates, chlorine and sulfates had been identified in the mineral water.
On May 20, 2026, Rosselkhoznadzor also imposed restrictions on flowerimports from Armenia.
