Seoul Wants to Keep Beef Off FTA Table
A senior official of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said Tuesday that the beef issue between South Korea and the United States will not be handled by the bilateral high-level talks.

ASEAN
Global halal standards urged
Muslim nations should create a global standard for the halal food industry because its potential is being held back by conflicting religious rulings on what Muslims can eat, a Malaysian industry leader said.

Europe
Pork exports increase
Danish pork producers are finding ways to market different parts of pigs to various markets worldwide.

United States
USDA investigating unauthorized sale of Canadian cattle
A South Dakota cattleman apparently bought a few dozen calves at a nearby auction barn last year, thinking, naturally, that they were all U.S. cattle. But when he tried to sell them, the packer refused to pay for seven because they had Canadian ear tags.
