Japanese Government Announces Meeting Date To Discuss Cattle Age Verification
The Japanese government announced today it will meet with experts next Tuesday to identify whether to accept the U.S. 'A40' physiological maturity as a valid method of cattle age verification.
Newly sworn-in U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns earlier this week said resuming beef trade with Japan was his top priority and pressured Tokyo to set date for restarting trade. The Japanese government responded by saying scientific study, needed to assure Japanese consumers that U.S. beef is safe, cannot be rushed. "It's not a matter that should be done by setting a specific date," Japanese Agriculture Minister Yoshinobu Shimamura told reporters on Friday.
