Australia remains free of the diseases as the live virus was not detected, but Agriculture Minister Murray Watt reiterated the importance of biosecurity measures.
The products, believed to be imported from, were detected in the Melbourne CBD as part of routine surveillance and have been seized
t's the first time viral fragments have been detected in a retail setting, Senator Watt said.
'This is not the first time in Australian history that we have picked up foot and mouth disease viral fragments in meat products - it's happened a number of other times in airport settings,' he told reporters in Brisbane.
'At one level, these detections are very disturbing, but on another level, they show our borders are strong and our systems are working.
'I want to assure people that our systems have worked, we have monitored this, we have undertaken surveillance operations and these products have been found, tested and now seized.'
Further investigations about how the products entered Australia was being taken and it was likely prosecutions would occur, Senator Watt said.
'If you do the wrong thing, you will be caught. If you try to bring products into the country without declaring them you will be caught,' he said.
'If you try to bring or post products into the country, you will be caught and we will take action.'
Remember they will take action against us plebs .But no action against their own fellow bureaucrats and the bourgeois
