This is why being very careful about what you import is vital.

“The strain is only killed in the meat if people cook the food for longer than normal.”

So, I wonder... how long, at what temperature?

Wonder if the animal rights groups are in anyway in on this. One such group tried to spread hoof and mouth disease from England to the USA several years ago.

The Food Standards Agency said the virus had spread to most British pig herds with 93 per cent of animals infected and 6 per cent producing enough of the virus to infect humans.

Sounds like all Euro pork has got a problem.

Not going to touch it.
Ten more pounds and I’ll be down to svelte. :)

We are in Florence, Italy on vacation. I clicked on this article just as my wife was enjoying her bacon and eggs . Now there is a pile of undercooked bacon pushed to the side.

Just returned from a week in London - had the Full English Breakfast on several days and survived!

Meanwhile, the US has repealed country of origin labeling for beef and pork. Do you know where your mystery meat comes from..?
