South Korea reopens market to U.S. beef
by Pete Hisey on 9/8/2006 for Meatingplace.com
The Agriculture Ministry in Seoul announced today that U.S. beef processors may once again start shipping beef to the market. Health authorities have cleared 36 processors to begin shipping beef within a month. The processors will be notified formally on Monday.
Deputy Agriculture Minister Kim Dal-joong said that all shipments will be examined carefully before being allowed on sale to the public. Because only boneless beef from animals 30 months of age or younger will be allowed, Kim said that the amount of beef entering the country from the United States will be significantly less than in the past, when bone-in short ribs made up a large portion of the beef imported. South Korea had been the United States' third-largest export market for beef before it banned U.S. beef in late 2003, after the first case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy was discovered in the United States.
