Canada’s BSE Risk (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy) classification was recently upgraded from “controlled” risk to “negligible” by the World Organization for Animal Health and that could be good news for US beef exporters.
Travis Arp, senior direct of export services, with the US Meat Export Federation explains. “With this change in risk status for BSE, markets like Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and even closed markets like Australia, this is an opportunity for the US to go back to these trading partners and renegotiate those terms that were on those Canadian cattle,” he says.
