Farming Today This Week
When banned foods enter the UK they can bring diseases like Foot and Mouth. Caz Graham hears how items are traced and asks if the penalties are harsh enough.
160 Tonnes of illegal meat and dairy products were seized at UK ports and airports last year. Restrictions are in place to prevent the spread of diseases but some still gets through. Caz Graham visits Birmingham International Airport to see what they've traced and seized in passenger baggage and freight. She also hears concern that more illegal foodstuffs are being smuggled into the UK through organised crime because the penalties aren't harsh enough. Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
