The head of Mexico’s meat producers association anticipated that the suspension would be lifted soon:
Meat Council President Eugenio Salinas said the Mexican government has informed the council it could start issuing export permits as of next week…
"It was a voluntary and precautionary suspension," Salinas said…
Salinas said U.S. inspectors are in Mexico to check whether the problems have been corrected.
Over the past few months numerous products exported from Mexico have come under heightened scrutiny. A salmonella scare in North America was blamed on Mexican tomatoes and jalapeƱo peppers. Californian health officials issued a warning against a brand of Mexican candy in August after finding high levels of lead.
