Are people at risk through exposure to MPA?
People will not be affected at the levels detected in pigs. At a much higher concentration MPA could affect a woman’s ability to conceive, although, as with the Pill, the effects of any MPA exposure would be short-lived. The Agency is not, at this stage, advising any group against the consumption of pig meat/pork products from the Netherlands. It is not thought that there are any particular sensitive groups within the population.
