US Proposes New Regulations for Importing Cured or Cooked Meat from FMD-Infected Regions

Summary

The US Department of Agriculture is proposing to relax regulations on importing cured or cooked shelf-stable meat from regions where rinderpest or foot-and-mouth disease exists, as long as the meat is processed in another country, in order to allow for the importation of these products while protecting the US livestock populations from disease outbreaks.
