USDA accepts meat from Costa Rica
received word from Costa Rican
officials that the stringent new
controls have been fully im
plemented in these plants ”
USDA removed Costa Rica’s
four slaughter plants from a list of
approved exporters because the
United States had been receiving
improperly identified product and
product accompanied by
fraudulent inspection certificates,
he said.
“The United States must rely on
the integrity and diligence of
foreign inspection systems to
comply with U.S. requirements for
safe, wholesome product,”
