Beef Offal Market Expected To Open Next Week

Negotiations between U.S. and Mexican officials to open the Mexican market to U.S. beef offals are expected to result in an announcement next week. USMEF understands that veal and such beef variety meat items (from cattle which are less than 30 months of age) as veal, tallow, heart, liver, tongue, kidney, lips and diaphragm, but not tripe, are likely to get a green light from the Mexican authorities. Tomorrow, Good Friday, is a holiday in Mexico, so no announcement is expected this week, but the Food Safety And Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Agriculture Marketing Service (AMS) are working out details of which documents and procedures will be necessary. Members should refer to www.usmef.org and the FSIS Library of Export Requirements for further developments.
