Cattlemen and Plants Digest News on Beef Exports to Japan
Cattlemen and industry leaders view the new US Japan trade pact as an important first step toward normalized trade. The agreement outlines age verified beef exports, partial removal of high risk parts, and a special marketing program to certify compliance. Experts will review BSE status in both countries and advise adjustments. Japan has had 15 confirmed BSE cases since 2001.US testing expanded in 2003. The arrangement allows U.S. beef from cattle 21 months and younger with age verification methods and physiological indicators under study. A 45 day study will assess teeth versus physiological aging for verification. Japan requires removal of specific parts from cattle of all ages for export. US agencies will assess processing facilities and perform BSE risk assessments for Japanese imports.
