New Notices On Beef For U.S. Military In Japan And BEV Programs

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued two new notices today (March 1) on Certifying Beef Products Under Export Verification (EV) Programs and Certifying Beef Products to be Exported to Japan for United States (U.S.) Military Use.

The first notice “provides Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) personnel with new instructions related to the FSIS certification process for meat products exported under EV programs. This notice announces that when FSIS personnel certify products for export produced under Export Verification (EV) programs, they are to verify, among other requirements, that the applicant provides a signed document from the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) confirming that each EV requirement has been met by the establishment or establishments that produced the product being presented for export.”

Although Japan currently bans imports of U.S. beef, exports can be sent to the U.S. military in Japan. The notice provides information for FSIS personnel.
