Poultry meat, eggs and their products

Notice of Executive Order of Saudi Food and Drug Authority Ref. No. 22387 dated 26 February 2017 (29/05/1438 AH) entitled "Temporary ban of importation of poultry meat, eggs and their products" originated from Kuwait.

Following the OIE reports, Ref. No. 22782 dated 9 February 2017, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (HPAI) outbreaks have occurred in Kuwait. In compliance with the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) Terrestrial Animal Health Code Chapter 10.4, it is deemed necessary for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to prevent the entry of HPAI into the country. Therefore, the import of poultry meat, eggs and their products (with the exception of processed poultry meat and egg products exposed to either heat or other treatments that ensure deactivation of avian influenza viruses) from Kuwait to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is temporarily suspended.
