VOICED : Brasil desmantela red de venta de carne adulterada

The Brazilian government attempted to calm the public and markets after dismantling a network selling adulterated meat, some containing carcinogens. Authorities are assessing the extent and severity of the issue, but current information suggests no public health risk. The Federal Police revealed that public officials accepted bribes to facilitate the production of adulterated food, which received health certificates without inspection. Legal actions included 27 arrest warrants, closure of three meatpacking plants, and suspension of three officials. Public outrage was evident in supermarkets, with citizens demanding action. Brazil, a leading exporter of beef and poultry, faces its worst recession and a major corruption scandal involving Petrobras.
