Japanese meat…banned in China?
Lately, the hubbub in the press has been all about the safety of products originating from China. As I was leaving Japan, I ran into this sign at Narita Airport.

I had been previously unaware of any Chinese restrictions on transporting Japanese beef. However, I guess you have to run a pretty tight ship when you are selling to distributors like the one pictured below.

Maybe they just have to massage all of the cattle in-house now…安全第一

It gives the impression that any meat you take out of the country needs to be inspected by Japanese customs first.An export exam would check the meat leaving Japan rather than meat entering China would it not?Is it just that the Japanese are really worried about giving other countries all the good meat?

@Matt
Actually it was specifically for meat entering China. The sign was at the security check, and there was no information indicating that an exam was needed for flights to any other country.
