Basic information foot and mouth disease (FMS): Foot and mouth disease is evoked through a virus. It attacks only hoofed animals and is highly infective for them. Humans can not be affected by this virus. However the virus can spread itself quickly and area-wide by infected living animals or their meat. Therefore many countries currently prohibit the import of living animals and food stuffs of animal origin. Conclusion: Regarding foot and mouth disease raw materials of animal origin for cosmetics show therefore no risk for humans. There are no trade restrictions on these raw materials at all.
