Anti-ASF task force burns boxes of pork products from Luzon

HOTDOG and sausage products containing pork, which were shipped in from Luzon, were burned on Wednesday by Cagayan de Oro City’s Anti-African Swine Fever (ASF) Task Force in collaboration with the National Veterinary Quarantine Services’ (NVQS) Misamis Oriental office. In a statement, the city government said at least 52 boxes containing the pork products were confiscated last January 3 at a depot located in Barangay Agusan. The task force also seized another 92 boxes of processed meat products that lacked documents such as certificate product registration, and a list of ingredients, among others. The goods were burned in a vacant lot of the city’s impounding facility.
