US may lift ban on Japan beef
Afp,Washington
The United States is preparing to lift a ban on Japanese beef to coincide with the imminent resumption of US beef exports to Japan, US Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said Friday. "We are ready to flip the switch and bring Kobe beef into our marketplace," he told reporters, referring to the luxury marbled meat that is Japan's most famous type of beef. "That can happen really any day, we are that far along in the process. We've gone through our rule-making, our risk analysis, our scientific approach, and we're ready to bring Kobe beef in," he said.
