What is this? Some meat from Latvia or Lithuania may not have the right paper saying it is safe from a pig disease.

What's happening? Italy found meat without the correct health papers. This could mean the meat might carry a pig disease.

Does this affect me? If you bought meat from Latvia or Lithuania, check where it came from.

What should I do? Ask your shop or a doctor if the meat is safe to eat.
