Worldwide markets have been slamming their doors on Brazilian meat since revelations that rotten produce was being sold with faked certificates, but the agriculture minister told AFP on Thursday “the worst of the process is over.”
Just under a week since police announced they’d discovered meatpacking companies bribing corrupt inspectors to certify tainted meat, Brazil’s huge meat industry is reeling as China and other big clients suspend or impose extra checks on imports.
Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi insisted that the problem is isolated and that Brazilian products represent no danger. But the economic damage to Latin America’s biggest country could be dire: $1.5 billion in sales are at risk, Maggi estimated.
However, officials are pushing back hard, with President Michel Temer due to call his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Thursday to try and get the import ban lifted.
Tin stuff on a whole is not safe people!
Some man in Brazil gone jail
social media is dangerous… so is rotten meat produce?
Are the people responsible behind bars yet?
Don’t think so!! They probably keeping some there to present to us in the future as newly processed. Don’t trust his words one bit.
Anyway, people should stop eating so much processed meat.
Brazil…your authorities covered up the ZIKA situation and blamed it on the mosquitoes, when u knew fully well that the farm chemicals produced by Monsanto was the culprit. You partnered with the FDA, WHO and PAHO in other to protect the most powerful yet Evilest agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation in the world. Although this corporations has been known and still continue to destroy human lives by chemicalizing our foods, you stood hand in hand with them and lied to the world while your babies were being born with small heads. Now you come out here once again to protect your tainted/corrupt food industries?
You will do anything to protect the evil corporations that you have allowed to kill the indigenous people of the Amazon. Their lands are being stolen & destroyed by these corporations to set up mega cattle farms. Now there is leak and your corrupt ways are exposed, you wanna stand here before us and say you have everything under control?
To hell with…
