What is SFA's advice to pork handlers in the market?

Updated by SFA
The Influenza A (H1N1) virus is not transmitted by food. According to the US CDC, OIE and WHO, there is also no evidence to suggest that someone can become infected by Influenza A (H1N1) from eating pork or pork products. Pork handlers should continue to exercise good personal hygiene in their work.
