Canadian exports from Smithfield's Tar Heel, NC facility have resumed. Last week, Canada temporarily suspended imports from this facility following an issue with a limited number of certain offal shipments. We are grateful to the USDA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for a quick resolution of this matter.
