The detection of New World screwworm, while concerning for potential livestock impacts, currently has no direct effect on your protein purchasing decisions. Continue to monitor the situation for any potential disruptions to pork supply chains, given the separate but related concern of African Swine Fever's threat to U.S. domestic pigs.
