Pseudorabies prompts trade bans

Canada and Mexico have announced some trade bans on pork from the United States after a recent discovery of pseudorabies antibodies in breeding stock in Iowa.

Canada has banned pig snouts.

Mexico, which is the biggest export market for U.S. pork, is banning non-muscle pork.

The bans are still under negotiation, the U.S. said.
