Answer 2

Uruguay exports over 400,000 tons of beef annually to 60 countries, including Europe and Japan. The Uruguayan meat industry combines production experience and technological innovation to satisfy the most exacting markets, focusing on Kosher requirements.

Clean air, pure water, sunshine and grass are the main ingredients Uruguayan farmers use to raise cattle. The abundance of lush grazing means that animals are raised the way that nature intended, resulting in combined freshness and flavor in the meat to satisfy the most discerning customers.

“Grass beef” is crucial to a healthy diet and Uruguary beef is 91% lean. The feeding system determines meat quality and composition, and meat produced in pastures has a better quality and less cholesterol than those fed grain. A person’s cholesterol intake should not exceed 300 mg/day, or it can lead to stroke and Diabetes. Grass-fed cattle is less expensive to maintain.

Cattle in the U.S. are usually shipped many miles to the processing plant, adding to the animal’s stress, while in Uruguay licensed USDA inspected plants that meet the most rigorous international hygiene standards are located on the ranch.

Uruguay’s advanced beef production techniques are hormone free. They have no mad cow disease and are free of Foot and Mouth Disease, Bovine Spongy form Encephalitis (BSE) and E. Coli.

Great care is given to meat packaging, handling, storage and transport. Ante and post-mortem veterinary inspections by Uruguay’s Ministry of Livestock guarantee that the meat complies with health and hygiene requirements. Sanitary procedures, systems and compliance are regularly reviewed by the importing countries’ veterinarians.
