The Philippines has ended its two-year ban on poultry imports from Denmark, imposed after an avian flu outbreak.
The Department of Agriculture (DA) announced the decision on November 12 through Memorandum Order No. 50. Danish authorities confirmed to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) that the outbreak was resolved, with no new cases since September 12.
The ban, in place since December 2022, covered poultry meat, eggs, chicks, and other bird products. Imports are now allowed but must follow strict food safety guidelines, the DA said.
The directive takes effect immediately, reopening the Philippine market to Danish poultry.
