The National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) issued a Memorandum Notice (MC) 07-2021-018 last week, reiterating that it will strictly implement the "Minimum Labeling Requirements for Imported Meat"
.
NMIS reminds meat importers that the shipment of imported meat should comply with the minimum labeling requirements specified in the 26th series of the Administrative Order (AO) of the Ministry of Agriculture (AO) in 2005 and the AO 24 series in 2010
.
Salvador, executive director of NMIS, stated that imported meat that was not marked as inappropriate as required would be seized and confiscated

Cham, chairman of the Meat Importers and Traders Association (MITA), said that since the memorandum notice came into effect last week, the government has detained some goods but has not yet destroyed them
.
MITA expressed concern about the sudden implementation of the new measures and urged NMIS to consider adding a transition period
.
The implementation of the memorandum notice also forced exporters to temporarily stop shipments to the Philippines

The Foreign Agricultural Service of the United States Department of Agriculture issued a report strongly recommending that US meat exporters work closely with local importers to ensure that the expiration date or best-by date is included in the label
.
.
Cham also said that this situation has further delayed the arrival of meat products, and the additional costs incurred by importers of goods stored in cold storage facilities may be passed on to consumers
.
Prior to the implementation of the memorandum notice, the shelf life statement or expiration date disclosure was added to the label just before the NMIS issued the meat inspection certificate
.
However, compulsory inclusion of the shelf life of imported products will incur additional costs because some exporting countries do not have mandatory requirements
.
For example, products exported from countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand do not require a warranty statement or label
