Smithfield pork banned from Canada

 

Pork from the Smithfield Foods Inc. plant at Tar Heel, North Carolina, have been banned by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency which has raised issues about offal.

The plant is Smithfield’s largest pork-packing plant.

Canadians and Americans conduct spot checks of each other’s exporting packing plants and suspend the ones that are found failing to comply with their own country’s standards.
