USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has indicated some US trading partners have adjusted their response to USDA reporting a positive find of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a commercial turkey flock in South Carolina.
Ukraine shifted from their blanket ban on imports of all US poultry to now restrict poultry and poultry meat products originating from the rest of the U.S. (other than South Carolina) if they were slaughtered on or after April 14, 2020, unless they are heat-treated. South Korea said its trade ban applies to product shipped from South Carolina on or after April 10, 2020, regardless of the production data.
As for the European Union, indications are the situation there is the subject to a final agreement on the exact regionalization of shipments from the U.S., according to contacts. US Chief Ag Negotiator Gregg Doud told Pro Farmer the situation remains under discussion.
