Canada has lifted a suspension on imports from the biggest U.S. pork-processing plant, a Smithfield Foods facility in Tar Heel, North Carolina.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture made this known on Friday.
The company said Canada blocked imports from the facility last week over issues with offal shipments, limiting a market for U.S. pork products.
The halt came as Washington and Ottawa have reportedly been engaged in a dispute over trade levies.
Smithfield CEO Shane Smith said this week that the plant’s suspension was not related to tariffs, stating that the company was working to resolve the matter.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture website, the suspension lasted from March 6 to March 12, and pork items produced by the plant after March 12 are now eligible for export to Canada again.
