Taiwan’s government agreed Thursday to ease restrictions on imports of Canadian beef from cattle aged 30 months or older, granting Canadian beef exporters full access to the Taiwanese market.

Taiwanese Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Director Wu Shou-mei said the changes will take effect immediately, but six types of offal, including brains and eyes, will remain prohibited owing to safety concerns.
