Foot in mouth*

Can foot and mouth pass through the meat and cheese? I thought food products remained safe during F&M outbreaks…

Many years ago, I forget how many, a case of foot and mouth disease was traced to a salami sandwich discarded by a walker. The outbreak was confined to one farm with the only possible source being a transfer from someone on the footpath.

Oh fuck. Well, always the local morgue to raid 👍

Well shit. What good is pasta without parmesan? And no feta? Gouda? How is life worth living without good cheese?

Oddly it looks like the article is only referring to people coming back from holiday, bringing a bit of meat or cheese with them. It doesn’t seem to cover the cargo ships full of the stuff.
Obviously this makes sense, as whenever I go on holiday and bring back some delicious foreign cheese or meat, the first thing I always do is go down to my local farm and share it out with all the animals :)
