俄罗斯四家麦当劳被关停Russia's main consumer watchdog has temporarily shut four McDonald's restaurants in Moscow as part of an investigation into food standards.俄罗斯主要的消费者保护组织临时关闭俄罗斯四家麦当劳以对食品标准进行调查。 Watc hdog Rospotrebnadzor claimed the restaurants had breached "numerous" sanitary（卫生的） laws. McDonald's said it was looking at the complaints, adding its "top priority is to provide safe and quality products". The watchdog also announced checks at McDonald's in the Urals, in central Russia, said the I tar-Tass news agency. The Moscow closures and the unscheduled Urals checks come amid rising tensions between Russia and the West over the crisis in the Ukraine. Previously, when diplomatic tensions have been high, the regulator has controversially banned products including wine from Georgia, cheese from Ukraine and apples from Poland, according to BBC Moscow correspondent Daniel Sandford. Earlier this month, Russia imposed a "full embargo" on food imports from the EU, US and some other Western countries, in response to sanctions over Ukraine. The regulator's actions in Moscow and the Urals are part of an ongoing investigation into McDonald's food standards in Russia.
