The Office of the Rosselkhoznadzor in the Pskov region has banned the import of 2 tons of wheat flour from France due to a lack of laboratory testing for GMOs. The flour was en route to a Moscow region recipient when it was found to fail the Customs Union's food safety requirements. France is a major producer of wheat flour, ranking second in Europe and 13th globally, with Spain, Great Britain, and Ireland being its primary export markets. France also offers various certificates to explain the practices used by millers, such as the CRC mark, which promotes biodiversity-friendly farming, and the ARVALIS NF V30-001 certificate, which stands for sustainable agriculture.
