China

Update On Plant Suspensions

Periodically, USMEF will provide information regarding the facilities suspended by China as well as the facilities which have received one strike for a violation of the Chinese residue and pathogen standards. Please keep in mind that facilities with one strike can continue to export pork to China; however, a second strike will result in the establishment being suspended.
