Mexico suspends pork imports from Spain amid swine fever outbreak

MEXICO CITY - Mexico has suspended imports of pork products from Spain following a swine fever outbreak, its agriculture ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The measure is being taken in line with international protocols to protect domestic pork production from potential animal-health risks, the ministry said.

"The restriction also applies to both commercial operations and pork products carried by travelers," it said.
