China Suspends Export Licenses Of Two Canadian Pork Exporters

Two Canadian pork processing companies have had their export licenses temporarily suspended by China.
 
Gary Stordy is the Director of Government and Corporate Affairs with the Canadian Pork Council.
 
"This is the second time that we've had a complication with paperwork," he said. "The first one involved some of our exporters using an outdated form. In this particular situation, it appears that some of the information, to oversimplify it, the labels, that go on the boxes of the product that's being exported, there was some wrong information on the labels."
 
Stordy says one of the companies affected in the latest case is located in Quebec, while the other is in Red Deer.

At a time when disease pressure continues to challenge pork production systems across the United States, vaccination remains one of the most valuable and heavily debated tools available to veterinarians and producers.

Speaking at the 2025 Four Star Pork Industry Conference in Muncie, Indiana, Dr. Daniel Gascho, veterinarian at Four Star Veterinary Service, encouraged the industry to return to fundamentals in how vaccines are selected, handled and administered across sow farms, gilt development units and grow-finish operations.

Gascho acknowledged at the outset that vaccination can quickly become a technical and sometimes tedious topic. But he said that real-world execution, not complex immunology, is where most vaccine failures occur.
