Yakety yak, don't smuggle that! Federal U.S. Customs Agents recently seized more than 300 pounds of banned yak meat that was smuggled to Kennedy Airport in sweaters, shawls and pants, officials said Wednesday. Certain banned dung pods and seeds were also sent in the shipment, which came from Nepal, officials said. The shipment was stopped at the Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center at the Queens airport after someone emailed a tip that the food was on its way to the U.S. The CTAC facility was created to streamline and enhance federal efforts to address import safety issues, officials said.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a “worldwide concern that can spread quickly and cause significant economic damage,” federal officials said. The meat and the pods were destroyed, according to the officials. It was not immediately disclosed when the shipment landed in the U.S. Federal agents were trying to identify and locate those responsible for sending the shipment to the U.S. http://www.nydailynews.com/new...
