Meat Shipped In Is Inspected Meat is generally shipped to the U S. in special refrigerated holds on freighters where it is held m solid frozen form at 0-to -20 degrees. At each point of en tiy the meat is sampled and rein spected hy inspectors of the US DA’s Consumer and Marketing Service, says H Louis Moore, Ex tension agricultural economist at The Pennsylvania State Univer sity Imported meats, therefore, must meet the same strict re quirements for wholesomeness that is required of domestically produced meats. 107 165
