Poultry meat and egg products
Import suspension of poultry meat and egg products from Denmark
In order to prevent the introduction of low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) virus into Japan, MAFF has suspended the import of poultry meat and egg products from Denmark, including those shipped through third free countries*, based on the Animal Health Requirements for poultry meat to be exported to Japan from Denmark from 30 June 2019, and Articles 37 and 44 of "the Act on Domestic Animal Infectious Disease Control". Poultry meat products derived from animals slaughtered on and after 4 June 2019 and poultry egg products derived from eggs laid on and after 4 June 2019 are not eligible to be exported to Japan, taking into consideration the incubation period of the LPAI virus stipulated in the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code.
