WASHINGTON (AP) - The government of Mexico has voluntarilysuspended shipments of meat and processed poultry to the United
States.
The move came after U.S. officials raised concerns about the
quality of Mexican food processing and inspections.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture identified problems with
sanitation controls and record keeping during an annual audit that
took place in Mexico during the summer.
The voluntary suspension began August 29th. About 2 percent of
beef and poultry in the U.S. comes from Mexican producers.
It's not known how long the suspension will last as Mexico takes
steps to improve food safety.
