Russia lifts Norwegian salmon ban at two farms

RUSSIA - Russia has lifted a ban on imports of fresh salmon from two Norwegian fish farms, Norwegian state broadcaster NRK reported on Saturday, citing Kommersant.

Moscow banned all imports of fresh salmon on Jan. 1, after health officials said they had found excessive levels of cadmium and lead in them, findings Oslo has disputed.

“The head of the Russian food agency, Sergei Dankert, said the ban had been lifted after Russian specialists inspected fish farms in Norway,” NRK said.

NRK did not say from which fish farms the ban had been lifted, although it said this meant the ban would be lifted from all Norwegian fish farms shortly.
