Importation of Pork and Pork Products From Countries Where Swine Vesicular Disease Is Known To Exist

الملخص

We are amending the regulations concerning importation of certain cured and dried pork and pork products from countries where swine vesicular disease is known to exist, to allow the bones to be removed in the country where the pork or pork products are processed. Prior to the effective date of this final rule, the regulations required that bones be removed in the country where the swine are raised and slaughtered. This action will give processors an option as to where bones are removed, while continuing to prevent the introduction of swine vesicular disease into the United States.
