Food Safety Alert: Detection of African Swine Fever in Wild Boar Products
On November 28, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of African Swine Fever (ASF) in wild boar and related products originating from Spain. This alarming situation poses a serious risk to food safety due to the potential for bio-contaminants associated with the disease.
African Swine Fever is a highly contagious viral disease affecting domestic and wild pigs, leading to severe health consequences and significant economic losses in the swine industry. The virus can survive in various environments and can be transmitted through direct contact with infected animals or contaminated products.
Consumers are urged to exercise caution when handling or consuming wild boar products. It is crucial to ensure that any meat products are sourced from reputable suppliers and are thoroughly cooked to safe temperatures to mitigate the risk of infection.
Authorities, including the Direção-Geral de Alimentação e Veterinária (DGAV), are actively monitoring the situation and implementing measures to control the spread of the virus. It is advisable for individuals to stay informed about the latest updates and guidelines issued by food safety agencies.
In light of this incident, it is essential for both consumers and food industry professionals to prioritize food safety and remain vigilant against potential bio-contaminants in food products.
