Doctor Jessica Maribojoc, the head of the DVMF, told CDN Digital that they have confiscated 96 cans of Korean luncheon meat from several stores in the downtown area. The 96 cans of Korean luncheon meat is part of the 188.8 kilograms of confiscated pork products from banned areas of the country or from banned countries abroad.The Korean luncheon meat, whose can looks like that of a famous US brand, concerns the DVMF because they cannot trace who are buying these products from online sellers. These should have been stopped at the Bureau of Customs upon entry to the country but it could be that Cebu consumers are buying within the Philippines.
The DVMF is now working with a cooperative to monitor these online sellers in the hopes that they can be traced. But Maribojoc said they need the help of the FDA to stop the supply.
