Major importers sign agreement against US beef

By Mo Yan-chih and Ko Shu-ling  /  STAFF REPORTER

To facilitate this commitment, the statement said US exporters have requested that as soon as the protocol takes effect, the US government establish an age-­verification Quality System Assessment (QSA) program for Taiwan.

The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service has confirmed that it was taking steps to establish a QSA program.

“We look forward to offering the full range of US beef and beef products to the Taiwan market,” the statement said. “We will work closely with our customers in Taiwan, as well as the United States and Taiwan authorities, to enable us to do so as soon as possible.”
