Fishy! What is China doing doubling up on smuggling this contaminated meat into the US?

National Pulse reports a surge in contaminated meat imports from China

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. Customs) has experienced a massive rise in contraband meat imports into the United States from China, up nearly 100 percent.

Protection noted that “in 2020, the number of shipments from China containing contraband pork, chicken, beef, and duck products intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agricultural Specialists in Los Angeles during the COVID-19 (Chinese Communist Virus) outbreak nearly doubled from the previous year.”

In Los Angeles alone, CBP issued 1,049 emergency action notices from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2020, compared to 527 in 2019, creating a 99 percent increase. Emergency Action Notices are used to respond to meat contraband attempting to invade the United States.

The Conservation Service concluded that “Conservation Service agricultural experts found mostly undetected animal products mixed in boxes of headphones, door locks, kitchenware, LCD tablets, garbage bags, shark fins, cell phone covers, plastic boxes and household items in an apparent attempt to smuggle contraband meat.”

Many meat imports from China “were affected by African swine fever (ASF), classic swine fever (CSF), Newcastle disease (ND), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and swine vesicular disease (SVD).”
