据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，11月4日欧盟食品安全局更新了埃博拉病毒经食物链传播风险，对风险进行了评估，并讨论了可行的应对措施。
欧盟食品安全局称，可能至少有1起埃博拉感染病例与食用丛林肉有关。这种情况的出现是由于五部造成。然而由于相关数据缺失，尚不能推断出风险水平。目前对肉采取盐腌、烟熏或者干制是否能杀灭病毒也未知。然而100℃蒸煮可以灭菌。
部分原文报道如下：
Several animal species were found to harbour Za?re Ebola virus （ZEBOV）， mainly non-human primates and fruit bats. The risk for persons in Europe linked to the transmission of ZEBOV via handling and preparation （by consumers or staff handling the food in kitchens immediately prior to consumption）， and consumption of bushmeat illegally imported from Africa was assessed.
The public health consequences of such an event would be very serious given the high lethality and potential for secondary transmission. Hardly any information on ZEBOV infectivity is available on the effect of salting, smoking or drying of meat. Therefore, a conclusion cannot be reached regarding the effectiveness of these methods for virus inactivation. Thorough cooking （100 °C） will destroy the virus.
