RaymondPierreL3<p>There's been a lot of HooHaa about lifitng the 'ban' on US beef imports both in the US and Australia and much of it is just BS.</p><p>Maybe it's my search engine, but it takes effort to get at the truth of this msm political beat-up.</p><p>The truth is, US beef was NEVER banned. There was a biosecurity Restriction placed on beef imported from the US in 2019 because mad cow desease (BSE) was indicated in some ot the US processed Canadian and Mexican beef. US grown beef was never restricted because its sources from individual graziers was identifiable and continued to be imported.</p><p>The recent lift in import restrictions has been in train since 2019 following changes to the US beef 'provenance' process that met Australian biosecurity guidelines.
