[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 432332, member: 97"] [b]I thought this quite interesting-- the Canadian government thinks its important enough that Canadian consumers should be told the origin of this chicken--but Canadians don't think US consumers should be allowed to know the origin of their beef/pork....[/b] :shock: [b]Could we be talking HYPOCRISY--eh[/b] :???: ;-) :lol: :lol: :lol: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9/4/2007 1:08:00 PM [b]CFIA Rethinking Chinese Poultry Ban[/b] [b]According to a report in the Ottawa Citizen, The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is looking at changes to a current ban on Chinese poultry.[/b] [b]Fresh poultry from China is banned because of concerns about avian flu and Newcastle disease - [u]the first because it can affect humans[/u], and the latter because it could affect Canada's chickens.[/b] The CFIA has begun studying a Chinese request to re-examine the blanket ban, [b]but any changes would likely be limited to cooked and canned poultry clearly marked as a product of China, the director of the agency's meat program said.[/b] The agency has completed a review of documents, and is inspecting Chinese slaughterhouses, processing plants and laboratories used to monitor antibiotic, pesticide and metal residues in the meat. The initial inspections would be followed up by periodic audits of production facilities. The news comes as consumers grow increasingly wary of products from China, and as Chinese officials are looking to open a market for cooked chicken products in the U.S., which has sparked outcry from groups ranging from elected officials to the United Poultry Growers Association.
