China suspends pork imports from Brazil slaughterhouse
China has suspended importations from the main slaughterhouse of cooperative Aurora in Chapecó, Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Although no further reasons were communicated, it is likely the ban is related to fears over Covid-19.
The information about the suspension was shared last week by Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), after Chinese communication just before New Year. The ministry said that China had “requested information on Covid-19 cases at the facility” and justified the suspension by “concerns” regarding this unit without giving further details.

SAO PAULO, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The Philippines has lifted an
embargo on importing Brazilian chicken products, the Brazilian
Animal Protein Association (ABPA) said on Thursday, ending a ban
introduced in August over alleged detection of COVID-19 on food
packaging.
ABPA said in a statement that the Department of Agriculture
in the Philippines had issued a memorandum this week to once
again allow the import of chicken from Brazil, the world s
largest chicken exporter.
“Brazil provided all the clarifications and we demonstrated
the reliability of the Brazilian product, ABPA said. Barriers
without scientific and technical evidence cannot form the basis
for an embargo.
