Es temporada de vacaciones: ¡No empaque carne de cerdo!

  • The United States, the world's second largest pork exporter, faces a major threat from African swine fever , a deadly pig virus circulating globally.
  • ASF's high contagion and nearly 100% mortality rate among domestic and wild pigs, combined with recent Caribbean cases, raise the risk of introduction to the US.
  • The USDA has created a protection zone around Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, urging travelers to declare all meat products and avoid packing pork to stop ASF.
  • An ASF outbreak could kill millions of pigs, cause pork shortages, increase food prices, cost the US up to $74 billion over 10 years, and lead to thousands of job losses.
  • Authorities emphasize that everyone must help keep ASF out of the US by not sending pork products and declaring meats at Customs to prevent spread during travel seasons.
