The National Pork Producers Council hopes a name change will change some minds about eating pork. The World Health Organization has officially named the H1N1 virus spreading around the world “Influenza A”.

The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) said the H1N1 influenza should never have been named “swine” flu and there is no justification for the imposition of trade measures on the importation of pigs or their products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security all confirm there are no food safety issues with the virus and that it is not in the U.S. hog herd.

NPPC says they hope Russia, China and the other countries which banned pork imports will drop those bans quickly.
