A huge scandal has shaken the already shaken economy of Brazil
Brazil, the world’s biggest beef and chicken exporter, with clients in some 150 countries, is scrambling to stop the fallout from police allegations of corruption and unsanitary practices in the industry.
Police say meat producers bribed health inspectors for years to certify tainted food as fit for consumption. At least 30 people have been arrested, with police raiding more than a dozen processing plants and issuing 27 arrest warrants.
Brazil exported about 5.9 USD billion in poultry and 4.3 billion USD in beef in 2016, according to Brazilian government data. (origo)
