OTTAWA - China plans to boost inspections of imported Canadian meats and meat products as bilateral trade relations deteriorate, Canadian government officials said on Tuesday, a move meat industry executives said could have “a disastrous effect” on their business.
A Canadian agriculture ministry notice seen by Reuters said the Canadian Embassy in Beijing had been told Chinese customs agents would open all containers of Canadian meat and meat products, and that in some cases 100% of the contents would be inspected. The Canadian Pork Council said the inspection issue was linked to problems with supporting documents and not food safety. Still, the Canadian Meat Council , which represents major processors, urged members to “increase significantly the surveillance and compliance with all requirements” for exports.
“Reports of increased meat inspections are of little concern since we have always operated with the expectation that all shipments to China are being regularly inspected,” said Gary Stordy, the pork council’s director of government affairs. Canadian Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said in a statement that Ottawa was working with producers “to underscore the importance of heightened quality assurance efforts to ensure there are no trade disruptions due to administrative errors.”Lu Shaye, China’s Ambassador to Canada, said the increased meat inspections were not a form of retaliation.
You reap what you sow.
They should inspect all the products which come out of their country. 90% are non compliant for whatever reason
Idk why, y’all gonna eat it regardless
Just let CCP cut all ties like they did before opening up. It may last for a month or two, then the country will get reborn and that will bring real sustainable growth to the world
Why canadian meat are not well
CCP doesn't mind staffing their people. The epidemic in China already caused shortage of food soon.
Thanks to our useless PM
