Is food inspection system in China good enough for American meat consumers?
Reports that a Cargill poultry plant in China has been approved by the federal government to export meat to the U.S. are raising alarms among food safety organizations.
An August 13th article on WATTAgNet.com reported that a Cargill plant in the Anhui province had been cleared by USDA to export poultry meat to the U.S. because USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) had recently granted equivalency status to the poultry food safety inspection system there. According to the article, the Cargill plant had met the U.S. export requirements for poultry meat.
