The emblem of Rospotrebnadzor, Russia’s federal service responsible for consumer protection and human well-being, depicts a silver double-headed eagle with raised wings. A crown with ribbons appears above its heads, and the eagle holds a shield with a gold field in its talons. Inside the shield is a red, equal-armed outline cross containing the Rod of Asclepius with a snake coiled around it. Dark lines define the feathers, crown and talons. The image contains no lettering with the agency’s name. The full emblem differs from the separate small emblem, which retains the cross and rod without the eagle or shield. These designs are departmental symbols rather than the State Emblem of Russia.
Rospotrebnadzor is the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing. Operating in Russia, the agency combines sanitary and epidemiological supervision with the protection of consumer rights. Its regional offices monitor compliance with mandatory requirements, handle public complaints and carry out preventive activities. Its work covers food and drinking water safety, living, learning and working conditions, and the prevention of infectious disease transmission. In consumer protection, the service addresses the quality and safety of goods and services, the accuracy of information about them and compliance with trading rules. It also publishes public guidance and explanations for organisations and businesses.
