Decision to be made on corned beef ban this week
The Ministry of Commerce says the country will hear this week whether the ban on the importation of corned beef from Brazil will be lifted.
A team, comprising of officials from the Ministry and the private sector, visited Brazil in the wake of allegations that several major meat processors in the South American country have been selling rotten beef and poultry.
Several Brazilian meat processors are also alleged to have paid hefty bribes to auditors in exchange for fraudulent sanitary licences.
The team is scheduled to return to the island late Sunday.
The Ministry will discuss the team’s findings and determine whether to lift the ban which was imposed on March 21.
