The S Group says that it no longer sells any Israeli fresh produce, but will sell off existing stocks of other items such as home carbonation products.

The S Group has decided to temporarily stop purchasing products of Israeli origin, while respecting its legal commitments, the mega-retailer tells Yle.

In practice, the S Group product range has only included a small number of such items, as it has not sold fruit or vegetables of Israeli origin for some time.

Some individual products, such as home carbonation devices, will remain available until the current ranges sell out, S Group Chief Sustainability Officer Nina Elomaa told the public broadcaster by email on Wednesday.

The decision was made in September, she said, based on the European Commission proposal to suspend the trade-related parts of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

    Oh. Me getting local news through international channels. Anyhow, yay. This is the way. I wonder where persimmon will come from now.

    Also, I have prefered the S-group over the K-group for-basically-like-ever, so I feel doubly satisfied.
