At the request of the Brazilian government, five US experts will come to the country this week to inspect beef meatpacking plants in São Paulo.

The visit is one of government's requests made in June in response to irregularities pointed out by importing countries in Brazilian beef.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), EU technicians will also come to Brazil to inspect meatpacking plants in Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
