Pork Import
Requirements
Are Amended
Pork products imported from
countries infected with both
swine vesicular disease (SVD)
and hog cholera will come under
a single set of requirements as of
December 19, according to the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
The agency’s Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service said
that the measures currently
being taken to prevent the in
troduction of SVD, are sufficient
to kill hog cholera viruses.
They will require cured or
dried pork and pork products
coming from areas infected with
both diseases to have all bones
removed in the country of origin;
be designated as restricted
import items, and shipped
under seal directly from the U.S.
port of entry to an approved
processing plant, where they
must be heated to an internal
temperature of 166 degrees.
Previously, curred and dried
pork products had to be dried at
least 90 days and be shelf stable
before they could come into the
country.
APHIS officials noted that
federal import regulations also
cover other destructive livestock
diseases, such as foot-and-mouth,
rinderpest, and African-swine
fever
