You're right, roseability. China is extremely selective about their beef. After our bout with BSE, they completely shut off all international beef trade with us, and if I remember correctly they're just now starting to trust our beef again.
However, don't let the fact that UB is made from US cattle scare you! We might've had a couple cases of BSE but the problem has been completely resolved. BSE is the reason that we're no longer allowed to use ruminant protein in other ruminant(cattle) diets. Only protein derived from monogastric species can be fed to cattle, subsequently eradicating an outbreak of BSE. (:
