Russians to kick out US chickens !

So US better make sure your chickens meet the regulations, because if not then Russia may buy them from elsewhere. And if Russia buys them from elsewhere then it may have a devastating effect on the poultry industry in US.

Russia's consumer protection watchdog has imposed from January 1 a ban on poultry meat treated with chlorine, a process commonly used in the United States.

So US chickens better abide by the regulations !

Russia warned the top poultry supplier, the United States, it will insist that Washington observe Moscow's new safety rules, but will accept shipments cleared by the customs before January 19.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Thursday Moscow will find alternative poultry import sources if Washington does not stick to the regulations.
