Legislators from Taiwan’s opposition Kuomintang party threw pig organs and exchanged blows with other lawmakers in the self-ruled island’s parliament on November 27, 2020, amid a row over the easing restrictions on US pork imports. President Tsai Ing-wen announced in August that the government would allow imports of US pork containing ractopamine, a feed additive which helps pigs stay leaner. The supplement is banned in places like the European Union and China over concerns about its possible effect on humans.
