SEOUL – South Korea has halted imports from a U.S. packer after finding it had allegedly shipped spoiled meat, the country’s quarantine agency said Monday.
The National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service reportedly said that a slaughterhouse for Swift Beef Co., Est 969, faced sanctions after spoiled beef was found in three shipments sent since November. A total of 2,466 tons of beef has reportedly been imported from the packinghouse since July.
