Johanns applauds Canada’s decision to further open beef trade with U.S.
The Canadian government has agreed to allow imports of U.S. beef from animals more than 30 months old and all classes of U.S. cattle, including those for breeding purposes born after 1999.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said the United States has worked closely with Canada to create a trading system that follows the World Organization for Animal Health guidelines for safe beef trade.
“All countries should work toward these guidelines,” Johanns said in a June 29 statement from Geneva. “I will continue our efforts to further open world markets to U.S. beef.”
