The Department of Agriculture (DA) in the Philippines has announced a ban on the importation of birds and poultry products from France due to recent outbreaks of avian influenza.
This precautionary measure aims to protect local poultry populations and ensure food safety amid rising concerns about the spread of the virus. The ban includes live birds, poultry meat, and related products, effective immediately, while allowing for specific exemptions for shipments already in transit under certain conditions.
