Mexico suspends poultry imports from Brazil due to viral outbreak: these products are now restricted

Mexico has temporarily suspended the importation of poultry products from Brazil following the confirmation of a viral outbreak. The restriction was enacted after authorities identified a case of the Newcastle disease in a commercial farm located in the municipality of Nova Itaberaba, within the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.

The measure halts the entry of affected avian goods into Mexican territory as a sanitary precaution. The Newcastle disease is a contagious viral affliction that affects birds, and the detection in Santa Catarina prompted immediate trade action by Mexican agricultural authorities.
