South Korea lifts beef ban

South Korea has lifted its temporary ban on beef from Canada.


It imposed the ban in December after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed a case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow’s disease) in an old Alberta cow.


This is "great news for our cattle sector," said federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau when she announced the lifting of the ban.
