Image China Files WTO Complaints Over US Poultry Ban

 Updated April 17, 2009 08:01 PM

GENEVA (Xinhua) - China filed complaints to the World Trade Organization (WTO) today about a US law effectively banning imports of Chinese poultry products, saying the law may violate WTO regulations.

Pursuant to Section 727 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, which was already signed into law, the United States effectively prohibits the establishment or implementation of any measures that would allow poultry products to be imported from China, the Chinese WTO mission said.

China is concerned that Section 727 places restrictions on the import from China of poultry products that are inconsistent with the United States' WTO obligations, it added.

Protecting U.S. Food Supply May Be Costly, Groups Say Protecting U.S. Food Supply May Be Costly, Gro  Additional rules designed to improve food safety in the U.S. will add costs for businesses and may not be effective, food-industry groups said.

Scares involving the potentially deadly E. coli bacteria, salmonella, listeria and other threats have harmed consumer confidence, prompting industry support for some tougher measures, J. Patrick Boyle, the president of the American Meat Institute, said today at a congressional hearing. The added cost to defend the food supply may be burdensome, he said.

“Only industry can provide safe food,” and voluntary collaboration with government will do more to protect consumers than additional rules, Boyle told the House Agriculture Committee. Boyle’s group represents Tyson Foods Inc., the biggest U.S. meat processor, and other meatpackers.

Congress is increasing the food-safety budget to add inspection resources and considering more than a dozen proposals to combat food-borne illness. They include legislation, approved by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, to grant the Food and Drug Administration authority to order food recalls even when a company refuses to cooperate.

The Role of FDA in a Recall

(From www.cfsan.fda.gov ) 

The recall of a defective or possibly harmful consumer product often is highly publicized in newspapers and on news broadcasts.  This is especially true when a recall involves foods, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and other products regulated by FDA.  Despite this publicity, FDA's role in recall activities is often misunderstood not   only by consumers, but also by the news media, and occasionally even by the regulated industry.
