At the Japan-U.S. conference to lift the import ban of the United States beef that had been held on January 19, the U.S. government presented the judging standard to export the cow below the age 17 months.
The U.S. government showed the compromise proposal of distinguishing whether it was a cow below the age 17 months by the fleshy substance and the bone maturity level in Japan.
A consumer group pointed "The inspection system of the United States that proved whether it was a cow below the age 17 months cannot be trusted. The system is not securing safety. We demand the execution of the blanket test on all slaughtered cattle for mad cow disease again"
The consumer group doubts the living body influence of an abnormal Prion hardly turns out.
And, the consumer group emphasized "The blanket test on all slaughtered cattle for mad cow disease is only a road of the best that obtained the customer confidence" reacting on the situation with strong anxiety to the system of the inspection of the months old distinction.
