flag UK report warns illegal meat imports threaten health, safety, and economy due to weak border checks.

flag A UK parliamentary report warns that illegal meat imports are slipping into the country through ports, airports, and the Channel Tunnel without proper inspection, threatening animal health, public safety, and the economy. flag Weak border controls, poor data, and underfunded enforcement increase the risk of deadly diseases like foot and mouth, which could cause billions in damage. flag The EFRA Committee urges stricter penalties, a national anti-smuggling strategy, and better interagency coordination. flag Farmers in Wales, where agriculture is vital, say their high standards are undermined by unregulated imports, and they’re calling for urgent government action to protect public health, animal welfare, and economic stability.
