WINNIPEG, Manitoba/OTTAWA - China’s suspension of two Canadian pork exporters’ permits was due to a labeling problem, Canada’s agriculture minister said, adding that she was hopeful of it being resolved.
On Thursday, Gary Stordy, spokesman for the Canadian Pork Council industry group said the problem centered on labels that contain information about a shipment’s contents, weight and place of origin.“So it’s an administrative issue and I am confident that we will be able to solve this situation,” she told reporters in Ottawa.
“All of our industry has to make sure it’s meeting China’s import requirements,” Stordy said. “There’s extra scrutiny, and the information needs to be correct and accurate.” A federal government source, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation, described the pork export suspensions as things that happen “in the normal course of events.”
But Canada’s Global Affairs department has warned exporters of the need to meet all of China’s export requirements, Stordy noted.
