EU suspends Brazilian meat imports over antibiotic concerns
The European Union has suspended imports of Brazilian meat and other animal products, including poultry, beef, eggs, and honey. The European Commission cited Brazil's failure to provide sufficient guarantees that its exports meet EU standards regarding the misuse of antibiotics in livestock farming. The EU bans the use of antimicrobials for growth promotion in livestock to curb antimicrobial resistance. No timeline has been provided for the resumption of trade.
