In the weeks before the vote, Russia banned the import of several products from Armenia — seen as a move to heap economic pressure on the country.
The restrictions come as Yerevan pursues closer European ties — and ahead of parliamentary elections in the South Caucasus country.
The measure adds to a growing list of food and beverage restrictions as Yerevan pursues ties with the European Union.
At a summit in Kazakhstan on Friday, Putin invoked what he called the "Ukrainian scenario" to warn Armenia against pursuing closer ties with the European Union.
Rospotrebnadzor said it suspended all new sales of Jermuk, a popular Armenian mineral water brand.
The restrictions on fruit and vegetable imports come a day after Moscow threatened to rip up a natural gas agreement with Yerevan.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan later dismissed the threat, saying it is “illogical to frighten Armenia with high prices.”
"Putin has repeatedly stressed that it is impossible to belong to" both the EU and the Eurasian Economic Union, Kremlin adviser Yury Ushakov said.
The measure is the latest in a series of restrictions on Armenian goods introduced as relations between Moscow and Yerevan deteriorate.
Rosselkhoznadzor claimed the ban, which takes effect on Thursday, is aimed at protecting domestic plant safety and domestic producers.
