I can't say I have heard of criminal gangs sabotaging the food supply before. Is this something that occurring but is under-reported or is there something more going on here?
The U.S. and Canada already have a growing infestation of wild pigs, descendants of European wild boars brought for hunting and domestic pigs that escaped.
If someone contaminates these wild pigs with African swine fever or foot and mouth disease they would endanger the domestic pigs from Canada to Mexico and the worldwide pork prices would skyrocket.
Canada and U.S. without bacon, that would be a cause for a revolution.
I know it's a joke, but I wonder if bacon can stay edible for that long. After some googling it looks like meat, depending on type, is "good" for up to a year. Some should be eaten within few months.

One farmer has claimed to have seen a drone drop something. It makes zero sense.
Gangs are however faking swine flu to reduce prices.
And swine flu is something else; swine flu is H1N1 and is not related to African Swine Fever.
