Mexican beef producers to renew U.S. meat exports

MEXICO CITY (AP)--The president of a major Mexican meat producers association said Sept. 5 he expects shipments to the United States to resume during the week of Sept. 8.

Meat Council President Eugenio Salinas said the Mexican government has informed the council it could start issuing export permits as of next week.

In early September, Mexico voluntarily suspended shipments of meat and processed poultry to the United States after U.S. officials found safety problems at several Mexican meat plants.

"It was a voluntary and precautionary suspension," Salinas said.

U.S. inspectors identified systemic problems with sanitation controls and record keeping during an annual audit that took place in Mexico between June 24 to 31, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

Salinas said U.S. inspectors are in Mexico to check whether the problems have been corrected.

Mexico's Department of Agriculture did not respond Sept. 5 to requests for comment.

Salinas said Mexico produces 1.6 million tons of meat a year mainly for national consumption. It exports about 20,000 tons to the U.S. per year.
