BRF from Brazil’s recalls chicken products due to salmonella

The Brazilian food processor BRF SA (the world's largest poultry exporter) recalled almost 500 tons of fresh chicken products on Wednesday due to salmonella enteritidis contamination concerns. 164.7 metric tons of fresh chicken were pulled from the Brazilian domestic market and another 299.6 tons destined for international markets (Japan, China, Kuwait, Ghana, Bahrain, Gambia, Oman, Angola, and Cuba). Testing in the company QC lab revealed the potential problem. Shares of the company fell as much as 2 percent in morning trading in São Paulo before trimming losses to 1.5 percent. The company said it has deployed a group of experts to investigate the origins of salmonella case, and it is applying a rigorous production control process at its Dourados plant to guarantee that the contamination was a single event and that it will not repeat. @ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brf-recall/brazils-brf-recalls-chicken-export-products-over-salmonella-fears-idUSKCN1Q210V
