UK bans EU cheese and meat imports to prevent disease spreading

The United Kingdom Government has brought a temporary prohibition of tourists who bring cheese and EU meat products in an attempt to prevent the spread of feet and mouth disease.

Travelers have not allowed the legs to bring articles such as meat and curro cheese, even in sandwiches, since Saturday due to the growing outbreak in the continent.

Restrictions apply regardless of the products are packed or packaged, or bought from taxes.

It follows a previous prohibition or similar products from Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria after an increase in cases of livestock disease in those countries.

Restrictions apply to people who arrive in Britain, not in Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey or the Island of Man.

The products will be seized and destroyed if people try to bring them, and in “serious cases” people could be acquired up to £ 5,000.

The list of restricted products includes:

• Other products made from these meats, for example, sausages

• Milk and dairy products such as butter, cheese and yogurt

People can bring up to 2 kg per person or child milk powder, food for babies or special foods necessary for medical reasons.

The disease of the feet and mouth is a highly infectious virus that causes blisters inside the mouth of an animal and under its helmets, and can cause limp and food problems.

There are currently no cases of foot and mouth disease in the United Kingdom.

The last outbreak in the United Kingdom was in 2001. Alleghe there were only 2,000 confirmation cases, more than six million sheep, cattle and pigs were placed.

This is because each of those cases Mean a farm that has all their murdered and burned cattle.

Tom Bradshaw, president of the National Farmers Union, said that the government had been “fast” to bring the initial prohibition, and that the NFU was “slippery”, the government was now extending it.

He said that “the strictest border controls are essential” to contain the disease.

Bradshaw requested “a comprehensive cross -biosafety plan crossed with biosafety with the necessary investment behind it, and that would place these restrictions in a permanent legislative base.”

The Fine Food guild, which rephes the independent food and beverage retailers, said the prohibition of “vacation treats” had been “hurried”, but added that it brought to the politics of the United Kingdom government to the most in line tourists with scratch.

“The food and beverage industry absolutely supports the fact that we must protect our farmers and that biosafety is primary,” said John Farrand, managing director of the Fine Food guild.

However, he said that the “desktop cracy” brought after Brexit had added “significant limitations” for small importers and beverage exporters.
