FDA proposes relaxation of rules on Japanese beef imports
發布於 2025-03-06 10:27:13
The Food and Drug Administration has released a draft revision to regulations regarding Japanese bovine imports that, if implemented, would allow the importation (輸入) of beef from cattle of any age.
Under current regulations, beef from Japan must meet several conditions, including being derived from cattle under 30 months of age, inspected by a veterinary officer, and produced by an officially-recognized factory.
F-D-A Deputy Director-General Lin Jin-fu says the government is seeking to update the "Import regulations for Japanese beef and its products" to remove the age limit for Japanese cattle - similar to regulatory practices in the United States and Canada.
However, Lin says each batch of cattle products from Japan will still require official veterinary certificates and be produced by "approved factories" to be allowed to enter Taiwan.
