MOSCOW, August 21 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s consumer watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, is not planning a “total inspection” of McDonald’s restaurants throughout the country, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets said Thursday.
“There’s no ‘total plan,’” Golodets said.
Inspections of the burger chain’s restaurants throughout central Russia are ongoing due to sanitary issues that have been discovered, the deputy prime minister added.
