Volgograd region: products with African swine fever were brought to the Volzhsky store 

An infected semi-finished product was found at a retail outlet in a satellite city. 

Employees of the Office of the Rosselkhoznadzor found pig products infected with the ASF virus in the Volgograd region, imported from the Vladimir region. Data on the study of products was transferred to the department from the regional committee of veterinary medicine.

A batch of dumplings has arrived at a store in the city of Volzhsky, the press service of the Rosselkhoznadzor Administration for the Rostov, Volgograd and Astrakhan regions and Kalmykia reported.

ASF is a dangerous infectious disease. The disease affects pigs regardless of the age and conditions of the livestock. Mortality occurs in almost 100% of cases, and infected pigs are immediately sent for slaughter. Therefore, it is believed that the virus causes major damage to agriculture and, as a result, the food industry throughout the country.

Experts assure: pig disease does not pose any threat to human health, as well as to other animals.
