On June 25, 2025, an outbreak of Newcastle Disease and its variants was detected in poultry products originating from the United States of America. The incident was reported by The State Veterinary Inspection, which classified the situation under the category of bio-contaminants. Newcastle Disease is a contagious viral infection that primarily affects birds, particularly poultry, and can lead to significant economic losses in the poultry industry.
The detection of this disease in poultry products raises concerns regarding food safety and animal health. Authorities are currently investigating the extent of the outbreak and implementing measures to control the spread of the disease. As a result, there may be increased monitoring and testing of poultry products to ensure compliance with health regulations.
This incident highlights the importance of vigilance in poultry farming and processing, as outbreaks can have far-reaching implications not only for animal welfare but also for public health and the economy. Ongoing surveillance and prompt reporting are essential in managing such outbreaks effectively.
