Travelling outside the UK during the holiday season? ✈️
Don’t risk bringing restricted items like pork and cheese or plants and seeds back into the country—they can carry harmful bacteria.
Think before you pack and don’t bring it back!

The awesome Helen Roberts @DefraGovUK animal disease expert talking communication in disease emergencies.
How does false news affect animal health? In emergencies such as disease outbreaks, humanitarian crises and natural hazards, accurate information is critical to ensuring effective response and minimize harm. But the rapid spread of misinformation during these high-stakes situations can undermine efforts to protect human and animal populations, amplifying vulnerabilities in several ways.
