Russia has banned the import of some fresh vegetables from Germany and Spain because of an outbreak of E. coli bacteria in parts of Europe that has killed 14 people in Germany.
Hundreds of people in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain are also thought to have been infected, the BBC reports.
Austria, the Czech Republic and France are among the other countries to have taken measures.
It is thought cucumbers from Spain were at the origin of the outbreak, though it is still unclear exactly when and where they were contaminated.
