There has been an EU-wide recall of Brazilian beef.
A Midlands MEP says the EU-wide recall of Brazilian beef containing banned hormones proves the Mercosur trade deal 'cannot proceed' without full compliance with EU food-safety standards.
The European Commission confirmed contaminated consignments were distributed across multiple EU states and the UK, prompting immediate product removals.
Ciaran Mullooly believes the discovery is a 'serious escalation' of long-standing concerns, due to unrestricted access to antibiotics and illegal hormones in parts of Brazil’s beef sector.
He says farmers cannot face unfair competition and that consumers expect safe, traceable, high-quality food:
