Several Nations Temporarily Ban Austrian Beef, Pork Imports Over FMD Fears
Several countries, including the USA, Canada, Japan, the UK, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, have temporarily halted imports of Austrian beef, pork, and raw milk. The move comes as a precautionary measure, despite no foot-and-mouth disease cases being detected in Austria. The duration of these restrictions remains uncertain.
The embargo is being enforced strictly in Japan, which has banned imports of meat and dairy products processed in Austria. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the import ban is limited to Lower Austria and Burgenland. Notably, the USA and Canada have implemented these restrictions retroactively from February 24 and 25, respectively.
The specific countries imposing these restrictions and the retroactive dates were not mentioned in the search results.
While Austria has not reported any foot-and-mouth disease cases, several nations have temporarily suspended imports of its beef, pork, and raw milk as a preventive measure. The extent and duration of these restrictions remain unclear.
