webfact Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Japan to import Thai chicken meat after lifting decade-old banBy Digital ContentBANGKOK, Dec 21 – Japan will resume importing fresh chicken meat from Thailand after a nine-year ban due to the bird flu pandemic, according to the Thai agriculture ministry.Yukol Lim-laemthong, caretaker deputy prime minister/agriculture minister, said after a meeting with Shigekosu Sato, Japanese ambassador to Thailand, that Japan will lift the ban this month, which was imposed in 2004, after finding that the kingdom has been free from bird flu for four consecutive years.The Thai Livestock Department will issue animal health certificates and submit the names of 26 companies to Japan for approval, and thoroughly control the domestic manufacturing process to ensure safety, he said.Thailand will export about 300,000 tonnes of fresh chicken meat next year, where the original export volume was 500,000 tonnes.Mr Yukol said Thailand will have to be on extra alert for bird flu since it takes years to re-export after a hiccup, adding that South Korea is another potential market for Thai chicken meat.

connda Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well considering that Japanese chicken glows in the dark nowadays, I can understand why they're importing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Drunk Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 After eating the chicken I just bought at the market I have to disagree with their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I've had food poisoning twice in Thailand. Both time after eating at Internationally know hamburger franchises. I've never been ill from any food bought at a market, restaurant, or street vendor -- well, other than the trots. It took a couple of years to get use to the local bacteria. As far a meat goes, I generally eat chicken or fish. Edited December 21, 2013 by connda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGIE Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I am thinking that there maybe many KFCs in Japan? and when the chicken meat are sold in Japan, it becomes very expensive because of the shipping cost and other costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 so they dont care about antibiotics & other bad stuff? yes they demand that there are enough antibiotics inside so the people don't die from food poisoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonarax Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 As if anyone wants radiation food from Japan.. you got some nerve telling the Thais about food standards when half your fishing industry is contaminated with nuclear radiation. Id rather eat an Issan chicken than a nuked fish from japan.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
