Russia Bans Meat Imports From Brazil And China

The Russian veterinary service has suspended imports of meat from both Brazil and China, citing concerns over foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). All livestock products not thermally processed from China or Brazil are forbidden from Sept. 17 and Sept. 20 respectively. The restrictions on Chinese imports are until China provides information about its epizootic situation. The World Organization For Animal Health (OIE) Web site does not have any reports on FMD in China.

Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture confirmed an outbreak of FMD in the municipality of Careiro da Varzea, in the eastern region of Amazonas state on Sept. 10. In June, there was an outbreak on a farm in the neighboring state of Para.
