Brazil expects exports to U.S. to resume

The chief executive of one of Brazil’s major beef-packing companies says he expects exports to the U.S. will resume early next year.




The U.S. suspended imports from Brazil in June because of food safety issues.




Brazil said the U.S. was concerned about lesions, but said they were caused by injections of foot and mouth disease vaccine, not by anything that would harm consumers.






However, at the time there was a huge scandal about bribes packers and exporters paid government inspectors to ignore failures to meet standards.
