Japan on Friday was set to resume beef exports to the United States after a two-year ban that stemmed from a foot-and-mouth outbreak in that country in April 2010, according to media reports.

Washington gave approval for imports of whole cuts of boneless beef from Japanese cattle slaughtered on or after Aug. 18.

The move followed the determination by USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service that Japan is FMD-free.
