Indonesia resumes pork imports from U.S., Mexico

Indonesia has reopened its borders to pork from the U.S. and Mexico after implementing a ban in May 2009, The Denver Post reported.
The ban involved pig products from several countries and stemmed from a fear that pigs might be the source of the worldwide H1N1 influenza epidemic. Indonesia lifted the ban because there is no evidence that pigs pass this virus to humans, according to the nation’s Ministry of Trade.
