The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has expanded its import authorisation for raw beef products from Chile, a move that signals growing confidence in the South American country’s animal health standards.
The updated policy will now allow the import of Chilean beef trimmings, which are widely used in the manufacturing of processed meat products such as hamburgers.
This decision provides US food manufacturers with an alternative source of supply and is expected to strengthen trade ties between the two nations. The inclusion of beef trimmings in the list of approved products is a testament to the rigorous safety and quality controls implemented by the Chilean Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG).
The development is a positive one for the Chilean meat industry, providing it with greater access to one of the world’s most valuable consumer markets. It also underscores the importance of robust animal health and food safety systems in facilitating international trade.
