Cagayan de Oro City’s Anti-African Swine Fever (ASF) Task Force confiscated and disposed more than 600 kilos of pork intercepted at a quarantine checkpoint on Feb. 20, the city information office reported on Monday. The meat, which was transported on a van that came from Davao City, had no shipping permit and certificate from the National Meat Inspection Services. Local governments in Mindanao have stepped up measures against the entry of uncertified pork and pork products following confirmed ASF cases in parts of Davao City and the provinces of Davao Occidental and Davao del Sur.
