Russia has imposed temporary restrictions on meat and dairy imports from a number of U.S., Brazilian, Finnish and Czech companies starting from Friday, the country's agricultural regulator said.

Tests revealed that some products contained harmful substances, while others were infected with salmonella, bacteria that cause a potentially lethal disease, salmonellosis, Rosselkhoznadzor said in a statement.

Shipments from the United States and Brazil, which had been sent before Friday, will be allowed into Russia on the condition of mandatory lab tests.
