The pork and pork products are harmless.
H1N1 swine influenza broke in America and Mexico does not infect people through pork and pork products.
It’s safe to eat dealt or cooked pork and pork products. If we deal with pork at great heat of more than 70℃, not to mention of Mexican swine influenza, the other viruses could also be killed.

H1N1 swine influenza broke in America and Mexico does not infect people through pork and pork products:
1. The swine influenza disseminates not by foods;
2. Because the swine influenza could become very weak at the heat of 70℃, if we treat it by the way of heating, it’s very easy to kill the virus.
3. Granted that the foods carry the virus, because swine influenza will become very weak in sour environment, plenty of gastric acid will be enough to weaken the activation of virus, so we won’t be inflected.
* Additional, World Health Organization, and such nations as America and Japan, and others also have the same view as Korea.
The Q&A about swine influenza(refer to data from American Department of Agriculture)

1. What kind of the swine influenza is?
* It’s a kind of new type virus which mixed by the hereditary substances of human, swine, bird.
2. Why do we call it as swine influenze(H1N1)?
* Although we haven’t found any relevant evidence with swine about the breaking of influenza, it’s absolutely new virus, so we just call it Influenza A(H1N1).
* Office international des epizooties(OIE) also claimed that because there are no cases about the inflecting of influenza among pigs in America and Mexico, so in fact, the way of calling—swine influenza is not correct.
3. Was the swine influenza found from swine?
* Because of OIE has claimed that the swine influenza did not come from swine, so America and other nations are investigating the route and the possibility of infection.
4. Is it possible for us to be infected by eating pork and pork products?
* The scientists are trying to verifying no possibility of swine influenza infecting through foods.
* It’s safe to eat dealt or cooked pork and pork products. If we deal with pork at great heat of more than 70℃, not to mention of Mexican swine influenza, the other viruses could also be killed.
5. Is it possible for us to be infected by touching no heated pork carrying virus?
* There are no cases like the situation above.
6. Is it possible for us to be infected by directly touching the pigs carrying virus?
* There are no cases like this in Korea, and the possibility is zero.
* The two ways of infecting by: (If you want to have a visit to Mexico, you should have a notice at this)
- inflected by touching the facilities, cars, or pigs farm carrying swine influenza
- inflected by touching patients suffered from swine influenza, the swine influenza could transmit among humans by the way of coughing or nasal mucus.
