Barbados Ends Restrictions On U.S. Beef

“All fresh, frozen or chilled beef and beef products (beef products include offal, variety meats and processed beef) derived from cattle slaughtered on or after January 16, 2008” are now eligible for export to the Caribbean nation, Barbados. Cattle 30 months of age and over must remove SRM materials as listed in the FSIS Export Library. The move ends restrictions on U.S. beef imposed as a result of BSE. More detailed information is online in the Export Requirements for Barbados.

Barbados is a key market in the Caribbean for bone-in prime rib, veal rack chops, and T-bone and porterhouse steaks, currently being sourced from Canada. Barbados is also one of the biggest vein-in (end) steak market for New York strips.

USMEF hopes that St. Kitts and St. Lucia will follow the example set by Barbados.
