| Abstract: | The government on Wednesday suspended meat imports from Brazil as safety concerns escalated after Brazilian police accused inspectors in the world’s biggest exporter of beef and poultry of taking bribes to allow sales of rotten and salmonella-tainted meats. The department of agriculture, forestry and fisheries (Daff) said it would ban all meat imports as sanitary problems over the Brazilian meat scandal that hit the world this week increased. |
