Saint Lucia places temporary ban on all UK poultry imports
Saint Lucia has slapped a temporary ban on the importation of all poultry and poultry products from the United Kingdom, as a result of an outbreak of bird flu there.
The Ministry of Agriculture said the ban was imposed in light of information received from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in the United Kingdom confirming that the country recently experienced an outbreak of a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
“The start date of the outbreak event is November 14, 2014 and pertains to the entire country,” the Ministry statement said.
