Carthy calls for suspension of Brazilian beef and poultry imports

A two-year investigation by the Brazilian Federal Police showed that potentially dangerous meat products were placed in the food chain.

The scandal comes as the EU continues to negotiate a trade deal with the Mercosur countries in Latin America. Here’s Matt Carthy.
