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 "The first one involved some of our exporters using an outdated form.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.

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
