Currently Japan only accepts US beef from cattle aged 20 months or younger because older cattle are thought to be at higher risk from BSE.
If Japan’s Food Safety Commission concludes that beef from older calf is safe, it could help restore US beef exports to pre-ban level, according to Asian Agribusiness.
