Shipments of meat products coming from Smithfield Foods' pork-processing plant in Tar Heel, NC are banned from entering Canada as of Thursday, the Department of Agriculture said.

In a notice posted on the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service on Friday, meat products originating the plant as of March 6 were not eligible for export to Canada "until further notice."

"The issue pertains to a limited number of certain offal shipments," a spokesman for Smithfield told the WSJ. "We are working with USDA FSIS to expedite the resolution of this matter." He did not elaborate further.

The Tar Heel plant is the crown jewel of Smithfield's processing operations, being the world's largest pork-processing plant at nearly 1 million square feet. The plant processes roughly 8 million pounds of meat a day.
