# USMEF details cost of pork offal restrictions for exporting to Mexico | MEAT+POULTRY

> USMEF estimates US exporters lost $7 million per week after Mexico restricted pork offal imports following a pseudorabies detection in Iowa in May. Some shipments have resumed, but restrictions remain for Iowa and Texas, and source verification is creating difficulties.

## Why it matters

Lost access to Mexico reduces demand for US pork variety meats, which weighs on hog byproduct values. Offal is a modest share of hog value, so the impact on lean hog prices is limited.
