Japan restarting beef imports today

Japan formally decided today to restart beef imports from the United States. Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Jiro Kawasaki said to Kyodo that Japan will put a total stop to importing products if it finds the same error as the one detected in January, which led Tokyo to reimpose the embargo.

"We'd like consumers to feel secure. We will also strengthen our monitoring by opening all incoming beef packets for the time being," Kawasaki said.

Let's hope noone sneezes when they do that...
