S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply (MAPA) confirmed this Thursday (2) the case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) reported in the country is atypical. As a result, the Brazilian government has been taking measures to ensure beef exports to countries that banned purchases are reinstated.\u00a0 China, Jordan, Thailand, and Iran temporarily halted purchases from Brazil, and Russia did the same with beef processed in Par\u00e1, the state where the case of BSE, popularly known as \u201cmad cow disease,\u201d was reported.<\/p>\n

The fact it is atypical means that the disease occurred due to natural causes in a single animal and not in a group of animals due to contamination by feed, posing no risk of spreading<\/strong> the disease to the herd or humans.\u00a0 The isolated case occurred on a small farm in the municipality of Marab\u00e1, in the northern Brazilian state of Par\u00e1.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince this is an atypical case<\/strong>, occurred due to natural causes in a single 9-year-old animal and with all sanitary measures promptly taken, MAPA is immediately deploying the actions, following the sanitary protocols, so exports of Brazilian beef are reestablished as soon as possible,\u201d informed the Brazilian authority in a release.<\/p>\n

Atypical case<\/strong><\/p>\n

MAPA informed since the confirmation of the case on February 22, it has adopted transparency in its actions and all the measures required by international agreements to export Brazilian beef. The fact the case was atypical was confirmed by the technical staff of the Brazilian Ministry of Health on Thursday (2) evening after analysis by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) reference laboratory. According to MAPA, this is an atypical case of type H. In a note, the Brazilian ministry highlighted the immediate official communication to the WHOA and Chinese authorities.<\/p>\n

Importers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jordan is not among the primary buyers of Brazilian beef. Last year, the Arab country imported USD 26 million in fresh or chilled beef from Brazil and USD 25.7 million in frozen protein, according to official data compiled by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC). In descending order, the biggest importers in 2022 were China, the United States, European Union, Egypt, and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
