Poultry Regionalization Requires Traceability Through Every Logistics Step

The updated APHIS guidance for exports to China shows that, in poultry, regionalization works only when product data and logistics data remain connected. Poultry products heat-treated in accordance with the processing requirements listed by FSIS may be exported to China regardless of production date. For products that are not heat-treated, eligibility instead depends on territorial origin and the affected time period.
