South Korea will end special inspections of all U.S. beef imports over the weekend, nearly two months after Washington confirmed its fourth case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the government said Friday according to Korea’s Yonhap news agency.
Inspectors will revert to conducting sample checks on 3 percent of imports, which is the normal practice, the government said.
