PhotoRIO DE JANEIRO ? Brazil?s meat industry has taken ?a punch in the stomach,? with exports plummeting in the wake of a corruption scandal over safety standards, the country?s agriculture minister said on Wednesday.
Brazilian meat export sales on March 21 fell to just $74,000, compared with a daily average for March of $63 million, commerce officials said.
Another allegation, that pigs? heads were used in sausage, was actually legal in some products, Mr. Maggi said.
On Sunday, Mr. Maggi said investigators had misunderstood one wiretap to mean cardboard was being put into meat when it referred to packaging.
That day, Mr. Temer took ambassadors of meat-importing countries to a steakhouse in the capital, Bras?lia.
