Japan requires verification

摘要

WITH resumption of at least partial Japanese beef trade, America's cattle producers can now apply for approval of their own U.S. Department of Agriculture Quality System Assessment Program for age verification of animals. That, or they can enroll cattle in one of the age-verification programs available to them online. If producers are to meet stiff new Japanese import requirements, cattle must pass a QSA, which is part of the Beef Export Verification program run by USDA.
