Verification Opportunity Grows

摘要

Even if Japan increases the age requirement for U.S. beef eligible for export to that country - or abolishes it altogether, as many hope - odds are that demand for cattle source and age verification will continue. On one hand, John Saunders, CEO of IMI Global - a leading provider of verification services - explains if Japan raised the age limit to 30 months, for instance, the nation would likely continue demanding verification through Quality System Assessment (QSA) or Process Verified Programs (PVP)(see "QSA vs. PVP") rather than depend on animal dentition.
