MOSCOW, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Russia, a major meat importer, will from Oct. 15 lift all remaining import bans on meat related to the H1N1 virus, the country's animal and plant health watchdog said on Wednesday.
"As this disease is spreading on Russian territory from human to human, the risks of its propagation by infected food products should be seen as negligible," Rosselkhoznadzor said in a statement.
The watchdog said it would no longer impose bans on meat imports linked to the discovery of the virus in humans, but it may impose new bans if the virus is found in animals in exporter countries. (Reporting by Aleksandras Budrys; editing by James Jukwey)
