[AR-News] Banned U.S. Beef Mixed With Mexican Beef, Imported to

Korea

 

 

 

It has been learned that U.S beef, the import of which was banned due to

mad cow disease, was imported to Korea, being mixed with Mexican beef.

The majority of the imported Mexican beef has already been sold and

distributed in the market.

 

The Agriculture Ministry's National Veterinary Research and Quarantine

Service said Wednesday that it confirmed that American beef was mixed

with the recently imported Mexican beef so that it was ordered to stop

the quarantine and delivery work. The veterinary service said that after

it had gone through a third of the total 212 tons, they had discovered

that 287 kilograms of U.S beef from the 38 tons of the Mexican beef was

shipped by one of Mexican exporters.
