Pork trade won’t be limited

There is no need for further precautionary measures in the pork trade – several international organizations stated.

The joint communication of World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) stated that H1N1 virus does not pose a risk to the consumption of meat products keeping the usual food safety standards. The notice responded to the restricted imports of U.S. pork by approximately 15 countries, including Russia and China.
