S. Korea halts quarantine inspections of Irish pork

By Lee Joon-seung
SEOUL, Dec. 8 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean government said Monday that it has temporarily halted all quarantine inspections of Irish pork after Dublin said it discovered a cancer-causing compound in its domestic product.

The move effectively blocks all imports and calls on local importers and distributors to recall products held in storage facilities and sold on the market, the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said.
