(Reuters) – The European Commission eased import restrictions on 106 Brazilian farm holdings on Wednesday, allowing the farms to export matured and deboned beef into the European Union.
“The Brazilian authorities have made available a list of 106 bovine holdings, together with the corresponding audit reports. Deboned and matured meat derived from bovine animals originating in these holdings will be allowed for import,” the EU executive said in a statement.
All imports of Brazilian beef into the 27-member bloc were banned on Feb. 1 over food safety concerns.
