An incoming Bali traveler has received a hefty $2664 infringement notice after Darwin's biosecurity detector dog Zinta, sniffed out undeclared McDonald's meat from the passenger on Monday 1 August.

The penalty for undeclared meat and dairy products is a part of Australian Government's new biosecurity efforts in place to stop Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD) from entering Australian shores.

After further inspection the Aussie traveller was found to be carrying a variety of high risk foods including two egg and beef sausage McMuffins and a ham croissant from McDonald's in Bali, Indonesia. 

The seized products will now be tested for FMD before being destroyed.

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Murray Watt said Zinta had sniffed out the biosecurity threat last week. The passenger was issued a 12-unit infringement notice for failing to declare potential high biosecurity risk items and providing false documents.

“This will be the most expensive Maccas meal this passenger ever has, this fine is twice the cost of an airfare to Bali, but I have no sympathy for people who choose to disobey Australia’s strict biosecurity measures, and recent detections show you will be caught,” Minister Watt said.

"Australia is FMD- free and we want it to stay that way."

The $2664 Mcdonalds meal.

Adam Macrae, Coonamble livestock producer said government messages and fines regarding the severity of FMD are either unclear or insufficient for Bali travellers.

"If a traveller can leave $10 worth of McDonalds in their bag, earning a $2664 fine, either the fine is not big enough or the message is not clear enough," he said.

Mr Macrae says the current biosecurity measures could definitely see improvement.

"I really think a few more civil liberties need to be compromised to make the show fool-proof", he said.

Welcome to Darwin! Zinta and handler will see you at the airport.

In July, the Albanese Government announced a $14 million biosecurity package. The package consisted of an increase in frontline defences at both mail and airport centres. The Australian government has also implemented 18 new biosecurity officers, sanitary foot mats at international airports and biosecurity sniffer dogs at Darwin and Cairns airport.

Zinta's discovery of the undeclared food products occurred after Indonesian authorities have announced no new cases of FMD have been discovered in Bali within the last week.

Australian experts warn however that Bali is not free from the devastating disease.
