Why Mallorca is tightening controls on pig transports — and what really matters now

Answer

What should consumers in Mallorca do if they are worried about pork safety?

Consumers do not need to panic, and there is no indication of a human health risk from the virus. The sensible approach is to buy pork from normal, trusted outlets and follow standard food hygiene at home. If shops or markets publish advice, it is worth reading, but there is no reason for alarm buying.
