Decision on Corned Beef Ban Expected This Week
The Ministry of Agriculture, Investment and Commerce recently stated that country will hear later this week whether the ban that was imposed on the importation of corned beef from Brazil will be lifted.
Last month an immediate import ban was placed on all corned beef originating from Brazil following reports from Brazilian authorities that several major Brazilian meat processors have been “selling rotten beef and poultry”.
Subsequently, a team of officials from the ministry and the private sector was sent to the south american country.
The local team reportedly returned to the island late on Sunday.
Several meat processors in Brazil were also alleged to have paid large bribes to auditors in exchange for fraudulent sanitary licences.
The team’s findings will be discussed within the ministry to determine whether to lift the ban that was imposed on March 21.
