Qatar only wants healthy beef
Qatar: Monday, April 07 - 2008 at 10:02
Qatar is the only GCC country which does not import beef from the United States, reported The Peninsula. According to the US Department of Agriculture Attache based in Dubai, the issue is being dealt with for seven years now as the Qatari guidelines require at the time beef should be from healthy animals, from animals not exceeding 18 months of age, fed with feed free of animal protein, subject to examination by vets before and after slaughter, free from suspected infection source parts and free from meat around the cow's backbone. The 18 months of age has been amended to 30 months in December last year.
