Pork products from Smithfield Foods' Tar Heel, North Carolina facility are not eligible for export to Canada until further notice. According to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, meat products originating from the establishment on or after March 6 will not be permitted to enter into the country.

Ray Atkinson, senior director of external communications for the company, says the issue pertains to a limited number of certain offal shipments. Smithfield is working with USDA FSIS to expedite the resolution of this matter.

No other Smithfield Foods facilities or U.S. pork processing plants were named in the FSIS announcement.

Sure, and I have been doing this since I was maybe 7.....you take a can of pork and beans....add meat, often a hot dog cut up, and then whatever often including ketchup, onion, horseradish, something hot and cheese.

Heat.

Eat.
 
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the suspension was in line with standard protocols and unrelated to recent trade activity. The agency and Smithfield, the largest U.S. pork processor, did not specify what triggered Canada's action.
"Under Canada's policy, three noncompliance issues within six months trigger a temporary suspension," USDA said." https://www.reuters.com/markets/com...-biggest-us-pork-processing-plant-2025-03-07/

So this isn't a safety issue? Ironically, the USDA will soon be gone under this administration. Previously, most of Europe would not accept U.S beef when 'mad cow' was raging.

That particular mess was created when the industry decided to save money on disposal of waste by putting chicken by products into bovine feed. Feeding meat to vegetarians. What a concept.

Slowly, the world is realizing the food processed in the U.S is simply not safe for human consumption.
