Mexico has 443 establishments certified under the Federal Inspection Type (TIF) system across 29 states, of which 149 are authorized to export meat products to international markets, according to the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development on June 7, 2026, in observance of World Food Safety Day.
According to the official statement, pork and equine products bearing the TIF Seal are exported primarily to Japan, which accounts for 27% of the export authorizations granted to approved establishments. The United States leads with 65%, followed by Canada and South Korea with 2% each. Guatemala, Hong Kong, and other destinations account for the remaining 4%.
The TIF Seal, administered by the National Service for Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality (Senasica), certifies the hygienic-sanitary quality of meat products in accordance with national and international standards and enables their movement without restrictions for marketing both in the domestic market and abroad.
During the same commemoration, Senasica reported that in 2025 it certified 9,432 primary production and packaging units nationwide, of which 30% are livestock units—a category that includes pig farms—and 67% are agricultural units. The agency reiterated its commitment to strengthening the prevention, management, and detection of physical, chemical, and microbiological contamination throughout the entire production chain.
World Food Safety Day is celebrated every June 7; its 2026 edition carries the theme "From burden to solutions: safe food everywhere." Mexico ranks as the ninth-largest food producer worldwide and the eleventh-largest exporter, according to data from the press release.
