- An airline passenger traveling from the African country of Ghana to New Jersey brought with him approximately nine pounds of mysterious meat of unknown origin.
- The meat, which the man declared to customs but was seized by officials upon landing in the U.S., is from an unknown animal.
- The meat was taken due to concerns about the spread of viruses and other microorganisms.
With 2020 in the rearview, you'd hope that 2021 would be a bit less weird. For customs officials at Newark Liberty International Airport, the year is starting off on a strange food thanks to the seizure of nine pounds of mysterious, unidentified meat that a passenger attempted to bring with him from overseas.
The man, who was traveling to New Jersey from the African nation of Ghana, declared the nine pounds of "bushmeat" and was allowed to board with it. However, upon landing in the U.S., Customs and Border Protection examined the meat more closely and discovered that it appeared to be from a wild animal. That's a big no-no due to the possibility of wild animals (and their rotting meat) to carry harmful microbes that spread disease.
