AFP, Brasilia :
Major beef market Hong Kong on Tuesday ended a blanket ban imposed on Brazilian meat imports in a scandal over tainted products, Brazil’s government said.
It said the move means all the major markets for Brazil’s key meat exports have relaxed their bans on meat from the recession-hit South American nation, the world’s top beef and poultry exporter.
“Brazil is satisfied to have received the news that Hong Kong has reopened its market to Brazilian meat” except for products from 21 companies investigated in the food scare, it said in a statement.
“With this measure, all the big markets for our meat exports are open again for (imports destined for) human consumption.”
