Japanese supermarket giant puts US beef back on shelves
One of Japan's top supermarket chains, Ito-Yokado Co., said Thursday it would resume sales of US beef at stores in Tokyo after taking it off the shelves due to a mad cow disease scare.
Ito-Yokado will start selling US beef at its 20 outlets in and around the capital from Friday following its own investigation into the safety of US beef, it said in a statement.
