Japan suspends beef from Green Bay plant
Japan has suspended beef imports from a Green Bay plant owned by JBS SA.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service says the estimated six ton shipment to Japan was stopped because the beef may have come from cattle more than 20 months old.

JBS did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
