Scandalous: Broken chicken meat of Brazilian companies banned by EU sold in Kosovo

After 15 days, about 20 Brazilian companies will not be able to export chicken to Europe.

This is after the European Union has made a decision to penalise these slaughterhouses.

The decision came a year after a scandal broke out in Brazil, where police found that potential meat exporters bribed hygiene services inspectors to standardise the fallen meat as if it were within consumer norms, writes Periscope.

We can confirm that representatives of European countries have unanimously voted to have 20 Brazilian companies exporting meat, especially the chicken, stop. This measure proposed by the European Commission concerns shortcomings that have been detected by the official sanitation control system in Brazil”, a European Health Commission statement said.

Among the companies that were penalised are two BF's brands, the world's largest poultry producer. The brands of this company, Sadia and Perdigao export their meat to Kosovo as well, Periscopi reports.

Company meat Sadiaʹ, who comes from Brazil, is found at almost all shopping stations in Kosovo.

It is even one of the most consumed chicken meats of citizens.

Another Brazilian company JB S The SAH has been a major meat exporter company in Europe.

She is one of 20 companies whose exports have been halted.

The meat of this company has also been exported to Kosovo.

It is not known until this EU halting move on Brazilian companies will last. Sources within the European Union have told Globo TV that this move could last for years, until companies create an acceptable rate with EU standards for exporting chicken meat.

International media report that after this EU decision, shares in companies have suffered a major decline.

Brazil is the world's largest poultry exporter, while the European Union is its main buyer./Periscopi
