Russia resumes imports of Turkish chicken after four-year ban

Russia has ended a four-year ban on processed chicken imports from Turkey after concluding that avian influenza is no longer an overarching concern in the Mediterranean nation. Turkey can now send slaughtered chickens to Russia, but live chickens, eggs and chicken feed are still prohibited, according to Agence France-Presse.
The change comes one month after Russia closed its market to U.S. chicken because it is cleaned with chlorinated water, a violation of new Russian poultry processing rules.
