Arizona dept of Ag :
Arizona doesn't wait for a crisis to react. We plan for it. 🛡️🌵

Following the USDA’s announcement of New World Screwworm in South Texas, we want Arizonans to rest assured: there are zero indications of this pest in Arizona, and there are absolutely NO food safety concerns.

Screwworms do not infest meat, and there is zero risk to the food you buy. Thanks to strict inspection regulations, our commercial food supply is heavily monitored. Any animal showing signs of infestation is immediately quarantined and restricted from entering the food supply. Your grocery store beef remains safe. 🥩

While the situation is occurring hundreds of miles away and is being tightly contained, our state teams have been working for over a year to build a proactive biological firewall.

👉 Swipe through to see the steps the Arizona Department of Agriculture and the Office of the State Veterinarian are taking to protect our state:

⚙️ Active Trapping: 7 USDA monitoring traps are active near Douglas and checked weekly for early detection.
📋 Border Controls: All out-of-state livestock entering Arizona must have a strict Certificate of Veterinary Inspection.
🏫 Real-World Drills: We’ve completed intensive response simulations, including an interstate tabletop defense exercise in Nogales.
🏛️ Federal Advocacy: We are advocating directly to USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins for long-term federal assets, including a dedicated sterile fly facility in Douglas.

🤠 A Message to Our Producers:
Because this pest spreads through the movement of infected animals, local vigilance is our strongest shield. We are working with the UofA Cooperative Extension and ALIRT to get information and diagnostic kits straight to the industry.
