Inspections Stiffened
For Imported Meat
Foreign meat entering the
United States will be inspected
only m federally inspected plants
or in “official import inspection

U S. Department of Agriculture,
as the result of a regulations

thorough examination of im

checks will only be conducted in
approved facilities. New
facilities will be subject to the
new approval requirements
