MIRI: Sarawak is faced with the dilemma of recalling canned pork from China that has been distributed to various remote corners of the state, following a ban on pork products from China.

The ban, announced on Sunday, came after state health and veterinary authorities found DNA of the African swine fever (ASF) virus in a Chinese luncheon meat sample imported into Sarawak.
