UK Says No to Banning Brazilian Meat While Europe Shuts It Out

UK farmers want Brazilian meat banned from 3 September 2026, just as the EU is blocking it over unsafe antibiotic use. The UK government said no. Since leaving the EU, Britain makes its own trade rules. Farmers worry meat Europe rejects will end up sold to British shoppers. A 2025 probe found Brazilian farms used key antibiotics without a vet's okay.
