AdvertisementTaiwan lifts ban on U.S. beef in boneTAIPEI, Taiwan (AP)--Taiwan says it will lift a ban on imports of a range of U.S. "beef in bone'' products including Porterhouse steak. In its Oct. 23 announcement, the Health Department says all imported beef products will have to carry a label of approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Only meat products from cows aged 30 months or younger that are approved by certified veterinarians can be imported, it says. Taiwan previously banned all U.S. beef containing bone, considering certain bones as carrying a higher risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Advertisement
