European Union formalizes removal of Brazil from the list of countries authorized to sell meat and other animal-origin products to the bloc starting in September, after demanding proof of rules against antimicrobials used in livestock

Brazilian meat will be removed, in September, from the list of products authorized by the European Union after the country failed to prove compliance with the bloc’s rules against antimicrobials in livestock.

Veto changes list

The decision was formalized on Friday (5), following an announcement on May 12. In the 2024 list, Brazil could export beef, chicken, horse meat, tripe, fish, and honey.

With the update, the country was excluded from these products. Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay remain authorized to sell to the European market.

Antimicrobials affect Brazilian meat

The European Union prohibits antimicrobials also used for animal growth. The list includes virginiamycin, avoparcin, bacitracin, tylosin, spiramycin, and avilamycin.

In April, the Ministry of Agriculture banned the import, manufacture, sale, and use of some antimicrobials used as performance enhancers, including avoparcin and virginiamycin.

To return to the list, Brazil needs to legally restrict the remaining drugs or ensure that exported meat does not contain these substances.

The European Union is the third-largest destination for exported Brazilian beef, behind China and the United States. For meats in general, it is the second market.

What do you think about this decision regarding Brazilian meat? Comment if you believe the new requirements can change the production, inspection, and traceability of exported proteins, as well as pressure adjustments in the rules used by the sector to maintain sales to the European market.
