02 Sep 2022 --- The UK has implemented strict guidelines on the import of pork and related products from the EU to mitigate the spread of African swine fever (ASF) within its borders. The decision comes after a call to action by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) through a risk assessment of ASF entering the country, placing it at ‘medium risk.’ African swine fever is rising again, spreading through European countries, namely France, Italy, Germany and The Netherlands. The last major outbreak in the EU was in November 2019.
