BeefPassport : Program Requirements

Source / Age NHTC Verified Natural Beef

• Desk-audit only, no onsite required
• Age Verification allows carcasses to bypass

dentition & physiological checks for age at the packer

• Shipping Certificate moves with the cattle through

the supply chain and EID tags are allocated in the IMI Global online tag lookup system

• Calves can never receive any growth

promotants of any kind

• Ranch must have an annual onsite audit
• If there are any hormone products onsite (i.e.

CIDRs, Lutalyse), an inventory must be kept up- to-date

• Cattle must move through NHTC approved

locations at all times *China also bans all hormone growth promotants and tests for synthetic hormones upon import, so most packers are utilizing NHTC/VNB approved cattle.

• Ranch must have an onsite

audit

• Requires no growth

hormones, no antibiotics, no ionophores, and no animal by-products

• Cattle must move through

NHTC/VNB approved locations at all times.

All programs require an EID tag be applied before leaving the ranch of origin. All programs allow you to be eligible for export, as well as domestic markets.

(estimated 15,000 tonnes 2019)

EU Quota

tonnes initially, and increasing up to 35,000 tonnes over 7 years.

NAMI Lean Trimmings, December 2, 2019, Volume 5, Issue 48

EU Lawmakers Approve Increase of U.S. Beef Imports to Europe. European Union (EU) lawmakers approved an increase in U.S. beef imports to the EU last week, likely deescalating transatlantic tensions. The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of a plan to allow U.S. farmers a larger share of an existing 45,000-ton quota starting in 2020……Under the revised deal, U.S. farmers will gain an initial 18,500 tons of the quota, rising to 35,000 tons after seven years. The vote also came with a resolution urging President Trump to remove U.S. tariffs on EU steel and aluminum, and to withdraw his threats to raise tariffs on EU cars. The change in the quota must be approved by the EU Council and then published in the EU official journal before it enters into force.
