US beef imports into Korea were suspended earlier this month after inspectors found banned bones in one shipment.


However, a ban on the US beef processing centres where the shipment of banned bones originated would remain in place, the Ministry said.


Following the lifting of a three-year total ban on beef imports, in the wake of the Mad Cow Disease outbreak, Korea has instituted a number of short-term bans on US beef imports, and still will only allow the import of boneless meat.
