DALLAS, Texas (WBAP/KLIF News) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection agriculture specialists seized 22 pounds of illegal animal meat at DFW Airport this past week. Included in the seizures were raw chicken, pig and cow meat, brains, hearts, heads, tongues and feet, all found in the luggage of a woman returning from Vietnam.
According to WFAA-TV the meat was found during a routine baggage exam.
The U.S. Customs agency seizes about 4,638 prohibited animal or plant products on a daily basis. Officials say they are destroyed using steam sterilization because the meat could carry disease.
