The risk is more than theoretical, Hawkins said. “Recently, USDA participated in an in ternational task force to eradicate African swine fever from the Dominican Republic and Haiti,” Hawkins said. “African swine fever is a foreign animal disease for which there is no treatment or vaccine. It doesn’t af fect humans, but it can kill up to 100 percent of infected animals. “The eradication campaign took more than four years and cost $2O million. The out break in the Dominican Republic began when untreated airline garbage originating in foreign countries was fed to local swine.” Congress helped balance the benefit of waste prevention against the risks of disease transmission by passing the Swine Health Protection Act in October 1980. Under this law, USDA is authorized to establish a uniform system to regulate the treatment of food waste fed to swine. States with laws as strong as the federal statute, or stronger, may take the lead in enforcing the rules. Otherwise, federal inspectors take over the function of seeing that food waste is properly treated. States may also ban garbage feeding altogether, and 16 of them do. “Most food waste feeders respect the trust placed in them. A few, however, still don’t take - feeding rules seriously,” Hawkins said.
