And while Jamaican patties will enjoy free ingress to Belize, a container full of 53 thousand pounds of leg ham is trying to do the same – but so far, BAHA hasn't approved it for entry. Reports say that the ham, which originated from the US was rejected going into Ecuador on October 27th, and then it ended up in Belize at the Benque Free Zone. But BAHA isn't sure that the USDA stamped meat is still good – so they're conducting an investigation to make sure that it isn't spoilt. BAHA's food safety unit has gone to the Free Zone to collect samples and the results are expected back on Friday. We'll keep following this case.
