Illegally imported meat bypasses the safety and hygiene checks required for food sold in the UK and could carry diseases and contaminants that put consumers at risk, the FSA added.
Some species, such as pangolins, are also critically endangered and all commercial trade of them is prohibited internationally.
Simon Ashwin, senior investigator at the FSA’s National Food Crime Unit, said the operation was part of ongoing work “to disrupt the illegal meat trade”.
“The FSA advises consumers not to buy or eat illegally imported meat, including bushmeat, as it may pose serious health risks,” he said.
“If you have concerns about products being sold, contact your local authority.”
The FSA said inquiries were ongoing.
