Key figures
If you import other food product / mixed from Thailand
- Chance a consignment is opened at the EU border
- Not on the EU's increased-checks list, so only member states' routine, risk-based checks apply (rates not published).
- If it is rejected
- Destroyed 40%; held, final fate not recorded 40%; re-dispatched or destroyed 20%. A re-dispatched lot can be sold elsewhere, a treated or sorted one can be released once it complies, and a destroyed one is lost.
- Where rejections happen
- Germany (2), Italy (1), Norway (1), of 5 border rejections in the last 3 years.
- Test for before shipping
- porcine dna presence (2), egg (1), poultry dna presence (1).
The EU does not publish how many consignments are shipped, so no page can state a true probability of rejection; these are the figures that are published.
