United States suspends all Brazilian meat imports
Several countries banned Brazilian meat in March, when prosecutors said health inspectors in Brazil had been taking bribes to approve sub-standard meat.
The US didn't impose a ban then; instead, it introduced checks on all of Brazil's meat shipments. But its US Department of Agriculture now says a significant proportion of Brazilian meat failed safety tests.
Brazil is the world's biggest red meat and poultry exporter, as it sells more than $12 billion a year.
