US Customs issues warning to international travelers against bringing wild animal meat (bushmeat) into America. United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a stern warning to international travelers, explicitly advising against any attempts to bring wild animal meat, popularly known as bushmeat, into the United States. ​Border and agricultural security agencies have intensified screening protocols at all major U.S. ports of entry. U.S. authorities emphasize that bushmeat—which includes raw or minimally processed meat derived from wild animals such as bats, nonhuman primates, cane rats, and African rodents—is strictly prohibited under federal public health laws. The ban is heavily enforced in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to prevent the introduction of devastating zoonotic diseases, including Ebola, Monkeypox, and various viral hemorrhagic fevers, into the United States.
