Reinstated status 😎

🇺🇲🇷🇴 In you go! That's right: after reviewing the country's documentation of its food safety inspection system and conducting an onsite verification audit, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service reinstated Romania's eligibility to export to the US its ready-to-eat and thermally processed/commercially sterile pork products from certified Romanian establishments. The condition is that the country meets all USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) import requirements.

     • At present, Romania is free of swine vesicular disease, but still suffers from African Swine Fever (ASF), Classical Swine Fever (CSF), and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Click here to learn more about this Eastern European country and its relations with the US.
