The US could lift the ban on beef imports from five Brazilian processors

 

Health officials from the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture have informed the Brazilian authorities that Brazil may re-establish exports to the US from five slaughterhouses that produce thermoprocessed meat.

The five processors were banned from exporting after USDA found problems with packaging issues.

"Yesterday we received the information that the processed beef has been cleared. We hope that, very soon, we will also be able to clear fresh beef," the Brazilian Minister for Agriculture, Blairo Maggi said in a statement.

Mr. Maggi spoke Tuesday during an event in Sao Paolo about the reopening of the US market for the five slaughterhouses, which are the main exporters to this country, and also talked about the recent visit of a US delegation which visited several plants and talked to the ministry's technicians and people in the production chain.

Thermoprocessed meat products account for the majority of the Brazilian beef exports to the United States. Brazil has 18 slaughterhouses that supply this kind of products.
