ASF: Mexico detected and destroyed more than five tons of potentially hazardous products in ports and airports

More than 1,600 aircraft and 2,300 boats have been inspected as a result of the strategy launched by the Ministry of Agriculture in August 2019 to prevent the entry of African swine fever (ASF).

In the last six months, Senasica has screened more than 168,000 passengers and almost 200,000 pieces of luggage using X-rays and 30 canine units. Over five tons of hazardous livestock products were discovered and removed for destruction.

The food was placed in leak-proof bags and special bio-containers for subsequent incineration.

Officials disinfected the airplane kitchen area and supervised the removal and destruction of 38,260 kilograms of leftover food and garbage.
