[식품안전] 스웨덴, 돼지에게 돼지를 먹이는 동종식육방식 비판

에스킬 에르란드쏜(Eskil Erlandsson) 스웨덴 농무장관이 돼지 사료에 돼지의 피나 지방을 사용하는 동종식육 방식(pig cannibalism)이 유럽에서 합법적인 사실에 대해 비판했다는 소식입니다.

광우병의 발생 원인 중 하나로 소에게 동종식육 방식의 육골분 사료를 투여했기 때문이라는 주장이 제기된 바 있듯이… 돼지를 동종식육 방식으로 사육하는 것에 대해서도 우려가 제기되고 있습니다.

이번에 스웨덴 농무장관이 돼지 동종식육 방식을 비판한 것은 덴마크의 Daka사가 돼지의 피와 지방을 원료로 돼지사료를 만든다는 사실을 알게 되었으며, 스웨덴의 축산기업 Scan사가 덴마크의 Daka사 주식을 일정부분 소유하고 있기 때문이라고 합니다.

Scan사를 비롯한 스웨덴 축산업계는 이러한 동종식육 방식에 동의하지 않는다는군요.

현재 유럽에서는 돼지에게 돼지의 피나 지방을 먹이는 동종식육 방식(pig cannibalism)이 합법화 되어 있습니다. 물론 한국과 미국에서도 이러한 사육방식은 널리 유행하고 있고, 합법화되어 있습니다.

Sweden condemns pig cannibalism

However, across Europe, pigs can still be legally fed with feed containing pig blood, disgusting Agriculture Minister Eskil Erlandsson, who called it “shocking.”

Erlandsson reacted after learning that a Danish producer part-owned by Swedish meat producer Scan makes pig feed that contains pig blood, among other ingredients.

“It is ethically objectionable to eat one’s own species,” he said.

Following the mad cow disease crisis in the 1990s, meat and bone meal were banned as feed for pigs, cows and chickens. Cannibalism was cited as a reason for the spread of mad cow disease, officially known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

However, across Europe, pigs can now be fed entirely legally with feed containing pig blood and fat, Sveriges Radio’s news bulletin Ekot reported on Tuesday.

In Sweden, Scan and other large meat producers have agreed not to use blood or animal fat in animal feed for pigs, among others. However, Scan is part-owner of Danish company Daka, which produces pig feed based on pig blood and fat.

Scan’s communications director Margaretha Thorngren thinks that it is unethical if to give pigs animal feed derived from their own species and now wants to see a change.

Leo Virta, head of marketing at Daka, told Ekot that the blood and fat processing is so refined at the plant that it is something completely different than the pigs for meat and bone meal.

“Strictly speaking, one can say that there has been an industrial version of a natural raw material that becomes natural again,” he said.

필리핀 뉴스를 보니 미국산 육골분 사료의 수입을 재개한다는 소식입니다.

뉴스에 따르면…현재 미국산 육골분 사료는 인도네시아, 캐나다, 유럽(확인 필요),

남아공, 말레이시아, 중국(확인 필요), 멕시코, 에콰도르, 방글라데시, 태국, 베트남에

수출되고 있다고 하는데 실제로 상황은 어떤지는 따로 확인을 해봐야 할 것 같습니다.

뉴스는 필리핀에서 미국산 육골분 사료의 수입재개를 하는 명분이 OIE 광우병 통제국가
등급 판정과 미국의 강화된 사료조치 이행이라고 전하고 있습니다.

DA lifts import ban on US meat, bone meal

The Department of Agriculture (DA) has lifted the temporary ban on meat and bone meal imports from the United States following official confirmation from global health authorities on the controlled-risk status of the mad cow disease in that country.

DA Secretary Arthur Yap said in a memorandum that the World Animal Health Organization or the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) has adopted a resolution recognizing the United States of America (USA) as “Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) controlled risk” based on the provisions of the OIE’s Terrestrial Code.

Controlled risk means there has been no case of BSE or, if there has been a case, every case of BSE has been demonstrated to have been imported and has been completely destroyed.

BSE is also known as the mad cow disease.

He further noted that the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) finalized additional restrictions to its Feed Rule (USFDA-HHS 2008) with the implementation of the “cattle material prohibited from animal feed” (CMPAF) to decrease the risk of BSE in the US.

The US rendering industry is regulated closely by state and federal agencies, which routinely inspect rendering facilities for compliance with applicable regulations and finished product safety tolerances, Yap said in his directive.

Yap said the DA has also confirmed that “meat and bone meal (MBM) and other animal protein products are regulated and verified by the USFDA for compliance with BSE-related regulations and chemical residue tolerances.”

Moreover, the US rendering industry uses internal controls to maintain biosecurity and ensures that its finished products are safe and in compliance with all state and federal regulations and tolerances.

The US currently exports MBM to Indonesia, Canada, Europe, South Africa, Malaysia, China, Mexico, Ecuador, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam .
