[2010-05-31 09:03:31]
On May 20, 2010, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China wrote to the Embassy of Ireland in China, announcing to let pork from Ireland back in.
In December 2008, the Irish Government once detected that part of its pork products got tainted by dioxins and thus proclaimed to recall all the pork and pork products produced as of September 1, 2008 in Ireland. To ensure the food safety in China, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China immediately announced to suspend the import of pork from Ireland. Soon afterwards, the Irish Government took strict measures on the rectification of pork production and renewed its normal production. Based on the appraisal upon both the Irish control system on pork hygiene and the disposal of the dioxins contamination incident, China believed that the pork production in Ireland has reached the safety criterions and therefore announced to let the pork from Ireland back in as of May 20, 2010.
