China’s quarantine agency suspended issuing permits to import a U.S.-produced animal-feed ingredient made from corn, said three trading executives whose applications were denied.
Effective June 6, U.S. shipments of dried distillers’ grains, known as DDGS, can no longer enter the country, because the government deems them a high risk of containing MIR 162, a genetically modified strain that China hasn’t approved, said the executives, who asked not to be identified as they are not authorized to speak to the media.
