Suspect animal remedies seized

Herbal remedies and massage oils containing ground tiger claws, poisonous plants and cow urine have been seized by border officials at a UK port.

The illegally imported products, bound for an address in Birmingham, were discovered by officials at Felixstowe Port in Suffolk in a consignment which had travelled from India.

It is the first time ground tiger claws have been found by customs in the UK, Border Force said.

Cow urine, poisonous plants, and goat meat were found in the ingredients of a 450ml herbal remedy and five-litre massage oil bottles.
