Mexico, Chile and Uruguay have suspended poultry imports from Brazil after the country reported its first outbreak of bird flu on a commercial farm, Brazilian officials reported.
The move follows similar decisions from China and the European Union, which also paused imports on Friday, according to Brazil’s agriculture ministry.
Mexico’s food safety agency said it was halting imports of chicken meat, eggs, live birds, and other poultry products from Brazil as a precaution. Chile and Uruguay followed suit, the ministry confirmed.
The outbreak was detected in Rio Grande do Sul, a major poultry-producing state in southern Brazil. Authorities have launched a containment plan and notified international health and trade partners.
Brazil is the world’s largest poultry exporter and responsible for 14% of global chicken production. The outbreak raises concerns about broader trade impacts. Earlier this year, U.S. bird flu-related shortages helped push Brazilian egg exports to the U.S. up over 1,000% compared to early 2024.
The agriculture ministry said export restrictions follow health protocols agreed with each trading partner and may vary from full-country bans to region-specific limits.
