ALLARD'S REACTION TO JAPANESE BEEF BAN
Senator Calls Action Frustrating |
|
November 9th, 2006 - LOVELAND, CO - Following is a statement from U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard regarding yesterday’s decision by the Japanese government to temporarily suspend beef imports:
“I’m once again frustrated that the Japanese government has suspended importing beef from the Swift & Co.’s plant in Greeley. Their decision was based on the presence of one box of thymus glands that was included in a shipment of 11 tons of beef. The Swift Greeley plant is not approved to export these glands to Japan. However, thymus glands are routinely sent to Japan in other shipments of beef and they do not present any health risk. I was pleased to learn that Swift is fully cooperating with U.S. and Japanese officials to investigate how this mistake took place. I am hopeful that through full disclosure and cooperative work the Greeley plant will soon be able to begin exporting beef to Japan in the very short term.”
