Restrictions on the movement of certain live animals and animal product imports from Germany into GB
As previously communicated. Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) has suspended the import of the following commodities to Great Britain from Germany, following a confirmed case of FMD on 10 January 2025:
live (including non-domestic) ungulates (ruminants and porcine animals, including wild game) and their germplasm
fresh meat from ungulates
meat products from ungulates that have not been subject to specific treatment D1 or higher (including wild game)
milk, colostrum and their products, unless subjected to treatment as defined in Article 4 of Regulation 605/2010
animal by-products, unless treated to effectively mitigate the risk of FMD
A reminder that you can watch the recording of last week’s FMD webinar for businesses (link opens YouTube). Our Defra subject matter experts answered the most common questions from businesses, including on processing requirements.
