South Korea halted beef imports from a U.S. unit of JBS SA after finding traces of the feed additive zilpaterol in a consignment of the meat.
The substance, banned in South Korea, was detected in a 22-ton shipment from Greeley, Colorado-based Swift Beef Co. on Sept. 24, according to a statement posted on the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety’s website today. South Korea asked the U.S. to investigate, the ministry said.
