The 45-year-old woman who arrived at Sydney International Airport on Saturday had undeclared food in her luggage including 4.5 kilograms of pork, Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie said on Tuesday.Australia is free of the disease that has wiped out pig populations across Asia and Europe.

Margo Andrae, chief executive of industry promotion body Australian Pork Limited, said the greatest threat to the industry was if the disease took hold in Australia's wild pig population.
