Food Safety Alert: Pox Diseases Detected in Sheep and Sheep Products
On October 22, 2025, an outbreak of pox diseases affecting sheep, goats, and other animals has been reported in Serbia. This incident raises significant concerns regarding the safety of sheep and sheep products available in the market.
The primary hazard associated with this outbreak falls under the category of bio-contaminants, which can pose serious health risks to consumers. Pox diseases can lead to severe health complications, and the consumption of contaminated sheep products may result in foodborne illnesses.
It is crucial for consumers to remain vigilant and informed about the potential risks associated with sheep and sheep products. Individuals are advised to avoid purchasing or consuming any products derived from sheep that may have been sourced from affected regions, particularly Serbia. Proper cooking and handling practices are essential to mitigate the risks associated with bio-contaminants.
Authorities are actively monitoring the situation and implementing measures to control the outbreak. It is recommended that consumers stay updated through official channels and adhere to any advisories issued regarding the consumption of sheep products.
