Mexico
Veal Does Not Require EV Program, SRM Removal Required For Prepared Products
Veal from animals less than 36 weeks of age is not subject to an Export Verification (EV) program. However, if a facility also handles a non-conforming product, an EV program is required.
For prepared bovine and ovine products, specific risk materials tonsils and small intestine must be removed. For prepared beef products, in addition to the tonsils and small intestines being eliminated, the raw materials of ruminant origin used in the elaboration of the products must not correspond to those specific risk materials (tonsils and small intestine). For more information, see Export Requirements for Mexico in the FSIS Export Library.
