Russia's egg shortage is being exacerbated by bird flu-riddled imports from Turkey, one of the country's biggest trading partners and a NATO member, according to a recent report citing a Russian government official.
More than one-fifth of the eggs imported from Turkey were found to be infected with the highly contagious H5N1 avian influenza, as well as other dangerous ailments including salmonella and botulism, Russian authorities warned.

Russia's attempt to pivot to Turkey for emergency egg supplies in January now appears to have backfired, as the delivery of the first batch of Turkish eggs was promptly followed by reports that about 20% of them may be infected with bird flu.
"The percentage is large. This is 10 out of 50—more likely than 6 out of 49 in the Sportloto [lottery[," Sergei Dankvert, the head of the Federal Agency for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision, told the Siberian University of Consumer Cooperatives.
"It is necessary to ensure that there's no threat to the consumers. Of course, some of the products may already be sold. But the incubation period in most cases can be up to 21 days, so we are waiting. In the meantime, we are suspending sales to large retail chains," the official added.

Russia also started importing eggs from Iran and Azerbaijan because of the crisis.
