Brazilian exports to China will be temporarily suspended
The World Organization for Animal Health (WHOA) was notified and the samples were sent to the institution's reference laboratory in Alberta, Canada, which will be able to confirm whether the case is atypical.
The animal, raised on pasture, without feed, was slaughtered and its carcass incinerated on site. The official Brazilian veterinary service is carrying out the epidemiological investigation which may be continued or terminated depending on the result.
“All measures are being adopted immediately at each stage of the investigation and the matter is being treated with total transparency to guarantee Brazilian and global consumers the recognized quality of our meat”, highlighted Minister Carlos Fávaro.
Following the official health protocol, exports to China will be temporarily suspended from this week. However, the dialogue with the authorities is being intensified to demonstrate all the information and the prompt reestablishment of the Brazilian beef trade.
