Hong Kong has joined China is suspending meat imports from
Brazil.
They are the top two consumers of Brazilian meat and have
suspended imports over allegations that companies have been selling unsafe
produce for years.
The European Union has also said it will stop buying from
companies implicated in the scandal.
The crisis was triggered by a huge federal police operation
on Friday.
It found evidence that meat-packers had been selling rotten
and substandard produce for several years.
Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety said it had temporarily
suspended the import of frozen and chilled meat and poultry "in view of
the fact that the quality of the meat from Brazil is in question".
