据外媒报道，韩国农林畜产食品部21日表示，由于美国出现高致病性H5禽流感病例，韩国已禁止进口美国产活禽和家禽肉。
据此，韩国政府采取禁止进口美国产家禽类和家禽肉的措施，包括21天之内入境被宰杀和未经热灭菌处理的家禽产品。
截止11月，韩国共进口鸡肉62,595吨，远远超过去年整年的44,129吨。
South Korea has suspended imports of U.S. poultry and poultry products because of an outbreak of bird flu in the United States, the Agriculture Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The suspension, from Saturday, comes as South Korea is struggling to contain its own outbreak of bird flu in birds.
“This import suspension is a quarantine measure to prevent the HPAI virus from entering the country,” the ministry statement said, referring to highly pathogenic avian influenza （HPAI） virus.
