The Consumer and User Organization (OCU) has sent a message of tranquillity to the population in the faceof cases of the African swine epidemic (PPA)  and has stated thatthe consumption of pork   is safe for human health, although there may be a fall in the price.

In a statement, the SCO reaffirms its message of tranquillity because, although pigs and boars have "high mortality", they are not transmitted to people either by contact or by eating meat or its derivatives, it has specified.

"Even if poor meat and pork or boar sausages were consumed, there would be no health risks," the organization stressed.

However, the SCO has focused on prices, which could fall if there were an international trade restriction on the export of pork derivatives from some part of the country.

The OCU recalls that the swine epidemic was eradicated in Spain in 1995 thanks to a programme that was "very rigorous" and "recognized" internationally, although the countries of Eastern and Southern Europe still have cases, especially with regard to wild boars, it has specified.
