USDA ruling opens door to Italian meat imp USDA said Friday certain regions of Italy are now free of a swine disease and on May 28 will end a decades-long ban on imports of their cured-pork meats.
The agency’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Agency announced that the Italian regions of Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto and the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano are free of swine vesicular disease, and that imports of pork from these areas present a low-risk of introducing that disease into the United States.
The agency received no comments during a comment period preceding issuance of the rule.
