Retailers stop stocking Russian products

Friday, 4 March 2022 06:30

Retailers in Switzerland say they will not be ordering any more products from Russia.

The supermarket chain Coop says it stocks some vodkas and frozen fish which come from Russia. They won’t be reordering. But the stock they have will be sold to avoid waste, says the company.

The luxury outlet, Globus, has far more Russian products – but also says it won’t be ordering more.

In all, the chain will take 15 products off its shelves – but again, will sell what it has.

For Migros, Denner and Lidl – the companies say they don’t stock any Russian products anyway.
