46 notifications on animal by products since 1 January 2020, under 1% of all EU notifications in that time. 23 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 7 in the 365 days before, up 229%. 20% were border rejections, against 30% across all products, and 15% had a serious risk decision.
The origins named most often were the Netherlands (8), Germany (7) and the United Kingdom (5). The findings reported most often were Salmonella (19), veterinary medicine residues (5) and missing or incorrect health certificates and documents (4).
Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
