Commerce clarifies Thai exports blocked by US

 

 

The Ministry of Commerce yesterday clarified the blocking of Thai exports to the United States is just a normal blocking procedure.

 

According to Ms Chantira Jimreivat Vivatrat, the director-general of the Department of International Trade Promotion, the US announcing the blocking of 11 Thai goods which they say contain pollutants exceeding the specified level, was a regular occurrence.

 

However she said what was important was that the announcement was not a direct ban but was a warning to Thai producers to exercise greater care in their quality controls to meet strict US regulations.

" the blocking of 11 Thai goods which they say contain pollutants exceeding the specified level, was a regular occurrence."

 

Oh well that's OK then, not a one off, happens regularly. Makes me feel much better about Thai food safety standards.

The chickens, turkeys and pigs are coming home to roost.  Thailand's private swine and chicken producers, who oppose the possibility of pork and chicken meat imports from the United States, have expressed concerns over food safety and the negative impact on Thailand's agricultural supply chain.

My Wife's Cousin came by a couple of weeks ago, and told her not to buy any Chicken for a while. She asked, Why?. He is a Backhoes Operator and be is one of many who have been digging hols for 10 hours every day for the last 30 days to bury Chickens that have died of a disease outbreak. He does not know when this is going to end. Not one report on the Thai News.
