>The European Commission has confirmed that Brazilian beef and other products will be banned from the EU from 3 September unless Brazil complies with EU rules on antibiotic use in animals throughout their lifetime.
The latter half of the sentence is rather important.
If Brazil competes fairly in terms of the EU’s requirements for meat, they can take part in the market. If not, not.

Didn’t take long for a ban after the Mercosur deal start

Great news & farmers were being vilified for wanting this.
Level playing field & not eating drug riddled food, a net positive

Mercosur deal is a good deal and not one party in Ireland supported it

But wasn’t the Brazilian beef found on Irish and Dutch (I think) shelves tested positive for banned antibiotics and growth hormone, so it’s our food supply chain already and consumed. The reason given was the consignment was mixed up. Realistically are they going to overhaul their whole antibiotic approach to beef production( they produce 20% of the worlds beef) to meet EU guidelines.

The IFA / Irish Farmers Journal deserve a medal for their work in forcing the issue. There is a massive public health risk involved in not tracking animal drug use.
Interesting, last year. Brazil exported a record high of 100,000 tonnes to the EU, worth well over half a billion quid,
What’s going on here in the wider scale of things, beyond health concerns and who is and isn’t using antibiotics
Why is the EU punishing Brazil’s economy like this? What kind of power play is being made?

That’ll be Brazilian beef never coming back into the EU then.
It’s been well known they’ve been pumping their cattle with God knows how long.
Fair play to them, they and the EU big money business counter parts tried to pull a fast one to enrich themselves and they were caught out.

What I don’t get is why are we allowing Brazilian beef in our shops up to now?
There has been multiple incidents of contaminated beef being consumed in the EU and the EU’s own report said that the checks Brazil are supposed to do are ineffective, so why are we allowing it for the last few years at all outside of any Mercosur deal?

I hope any meat on shelves is very strictly labelled with country of origin so I can avoid all this toxic South American beef.
