The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has suspended the import of poultry and poultry products from the vicinity of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in the US.  
   
Singapore will impose temporary restrictions on imports of poultry and poultry products within 10 km of the affected areas due to the highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza outbreaks in Leon County, Minnesota, and Burke County, Pennsylvania in the United States.  Poultry products that meet the heat treatment requirements of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) for inactivation of avian influenza viruses will not be affected by the import restrictions.  
   
Poultry products exported from Leon County, Minnesota and Berks County, Pennsylvania before May 3, 2022 and slaughtered before April 19, 2022 will continue to be accepted for import.  
   
To facilitate clearance of other poultry and poultry products, the following additional certificates should be included in the accompanying veterinary health certificate when importing poultry and poultry products:  
   
A. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) H5 and H7 are notifiable diseases in exporting countries.  
   
B. As defined by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), poultry of meat origin are not vaccinated against avian influenza H5 and H7 subtypes.  
   
C. Poultry and meat products did not originate in the restricted area within a 10-kilometer radius around the affected site in Stanislaus and Merced counties, California.  

D. Meat from poultry born, raised and slaughtered in the United States or day-old chicks legally imported from countries with comparable poultry health status.
