Pig ‘Ebola’ Virus Sends Shock Waves Through Global Food Chain

What started with a few dozen dead pigs in northeastern China is sending shock waves through the global food chain.

Last August, a farm with fewer than 400 hogs on the outskirts of Shenyang was found to harbor African swine fever, the first ever occurrence of the contagious viral disease in the country with half the world’s pigs. Forty-seven head had died, triggering emergency measures including mass culling and a blockade to stop the transportation of livestock. Within days, a government notice proclaimed the outbreak “effectively controlled.”

It was too late. By then, the disease had literally gone viral, dispersed across hundreds of miles in sickened animals, contaminated food, and in dirt and dust on truck tires and clothing. Nine months later, the contagion has spread nationwide, crossed borders to Mongolia, Vietnam and Cambodia, and bolstered meat markets globally.

[snip]

The strain of African swine fever spreading in Asia is undeniably nasty, killing virtually every pig it infects by a hemorrhagic illness reminiscent of Ebola in humans. It’s not known to sicken people, however.

Comment: This is a Bloomberg article, so written from a business perspective, and not a health perspective. Pig viruses often cross-over to humans. And China isn't known for being forthcoming when it comes to releasing info on things like this. I think this bears watching.

I would trust the chinese food safety system as far as I could throw it.

I would trust the chinese CDC to do the right thing, transparency-wise, as far as I could throw it. (Think SARS, H5N1,etc)

Read labels.

Grow your own food.

Buy locally grown and processed food.

More pestilence and famine in the end days? Maybe so. This past winter in the northern hemisphere has damaged massive amounts of crops and killed up to a million head of livestock. Food prices are going to reflect this, if not immediately then next year after warehoused produced is gone.

Interesting. So the Chinese are buying up American land & farms?

I found this article from 2015 (-50%):

Toxic manure lagoons stir battle over Chinese-owned pigs in the US

What do China, its rapidly growing middle class and toxic manure lagoons in North Carolina have in common?

Absolutely nothing. And even if they did, don’t mention it.

So say attorneys for the Chinese company that now owns America’s largest pork producer, Smithfield Foods. They have asked a federal judge to forbid people who live near these manure lagoons from mentioning the new Chinese owners – or the country of China or pork exports to China – in court.

China brings home the bacon with America’s pigs
The attorneys are defending the company against at least 25 nuisance lawsuits.

More than 500 North Carolinians who live near the company’s sprawling lakes of toxic pig manure brought the complaints. They contend that their health and property values are being hurt by the manure lagoons and that the Chinese owners are making the situation worse by expanding pig farms to export more hams, bacon and loins to China...
