China bans JBS beef from US plant

China has banned beef imports from JBS’s Swift Beef Company in Greeley, CO, after U.S. officials found traces of ractopamine in meat products destined to China.

JBS said in a statement it is working with authorities in both countries to resolve the issue and that no other JBS beef facilities in the U.S. have been impacted.

China also blocked meat and poultry imports from the Cool Port Oakland in Oakland, CA, which is used as a cold storage facility.
