‘Pork dashboard’ shows zero importsPORK WATCH: The dashboard provides daily information on locally produced and imported pork products, including those containing ractopamine residueBy Chien Hui-ju and Chen Hsin-yu / Staff reportersThe government yesterday launched an online “pork dashboard,” which showed no pork imports since Friday, when the nation started allowing imports of pork containing residue of the leanness-enhancing additive ractopamine. It includes information on domestically produced pork, including the number of pigs slaughtered and weights of pork and edible pig organs. Premier Su Tseng-chang points to an image of the government’s new “pork dashboard” at a news conference in Taipei yesterday. All government agencies are prepared to inspect imported pork batch by batch, clearly label imported pork and follow relevant procedures,” he added. The real test begins when there are companies that want to import pork containing ractopamine, he added.
