Import requests from Brazilian meat suppliers not under investigation by the country’s authorities will be allowed to the MSAR, according to the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM).
The department will continue to block meat imports from 21 companies currently under investigation by Brazil’s sanitary authorities.
Last week a full ban on Brazilian meat imports was enforced by the MSAR and several countries worldwide after some Brazilian suppliers were found to be selling tainted meat products, bribing food hygiene inspectors to overlook the infractions.
