CHICAGO — Mexico has approved 20 of the 30 suspended U.S. meat plants to resume shipments to that country, a USDA report said on Tuesday.
The 30 meat plants, which produce beef, pork and poultry, were suspended from shipping to Mexico last week due to sanitary issues like packaging, labeling, and transport conditions, USDA and Mexican officials said.
The plants approved on Tuesday included those owned by Tyson Foods, Smithfield Foods, JBS and privately owned Cargill.
