The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore has announced that it will still allow the imports of processed pork products which comply with the OIE guidelines for the inactivation of the ASF virus.
Furthermore, the authorities announced that there are additional requirements as to facilitate the clearance of permits for processed pork products.
