But USDA Has A Plan To Begin Allowing It, Senator Says
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Chicken from China has officials on alert,
including U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)
As WCBS 880’s Jim Smith reported Sunday, Schumer said first, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture only allowed chickens that had been processed in
China to be sold in the U.S. Now, he said the USDA plans to green-light
poultry raised and slaughtered in China.
This has never happened before, and it is a bad idea, Schumer argued.
“China has a terrible record on health safety, and chickens are one of the
things that need the most care and inspections,” he said.
Schumer called the plan a huge change in policy, and a big mistake.
“China has been a massive source of food poisoning here in America for
years,” he said.
A step closer to final approval, Schumer said a USDA report to Congress
indicated aspects of the Chinese slaughter system to be equivalent to that
of the U.S.
“Why is the USDA doing it?” he said. “We just don’t know.”
A USDA representative was unavailable for comment Sunday. |
