Another US Beef Shipment Denied
Another day, another returned US beef shipment:
South Korea found banned bones in a U.S. beef shipment for third time this month and plans to send the entire shipment back to the United States, an official said Wednesday.
South Korea’s Agriculture and Forestry Ministry said it found rib bones earlier in the day in one box of a 16.15-tonne shipment that arrived in South Korea on Aug. 5, the ministry official said. He asked not to be named, citing the agency’s policy. [Kim Kwang-tae, C-News]
The Koreans have picked a good time to keep returning beef shipments because our US politicians are all consumed with General Petraeus’ report to Congress and are not likely to notice all the beef shipments being turned around from Korea.
Anyone else besides me think this has anything to do with consumption of and gifting of meat for Chusok?
I think it is convenient for the Korean beef farmers but I fully expect this ridiculousness to continue after Chusok as well .
Amazing how bone fragments are always found in "one box".
