OIG News | Marfrig Suspended Operation at Beef Facility SIF 2007 for 10 Days #Marfrig has suspended operations at its #beef facility, SIF 2007 (Marfrig Global Foods S.A.), located in Alegrete, Rio Grande do Sul, and granted its employees ten days of vacation. Some employees began their recess on Mar 4, while others started their vacations a day later.   "The ten-day vacation period, as has been done in previous years, is intended to facilitate operational adjustments at the Alegrete facility," the company stated to the press. Marfrig also assured that its other plants in Rio Grande do Sul will continue operating normally. However, Marcos Rosse, president of the Food Industries #Workers Union of Alegrete, mentioned that the company cited a #shortage of #cattle as the reason for the shutdown. "They claim they lack raw materials," he explained.   Rosse indicated that slaughters were already declining at the facility before the start of the collective vacations. He also believes that #maintenance work will indeed be carried out by Marfrig during this period, noting recent issues in a cold storage room at the facility. With approximately 650 employees, the Alegrete facility is the largest food industry company in the city. Thus, the temporary suspension of activities raises concerns among the population directly or indirectly affected by the decision.   "They have laid off 80 employees at Marfrig's SIF 232 in Bagé since last week. It's concerning," Rosse added. He also mentioned a perception of high cattle costs in the region. The Alegrete facility is one of 16 Marfrig plants currently in the process of being sold to competitor Minerva.

OIG News | China Blocks Beef from US Plant over Detection of Ractopamine Meat processor #JBS (JBSS3.SA), opens new tab said on Wednesday that Beijing blocked #U.S. #beef shipments from the company's plant in #Greeley, Colorado, because traces of the feed additive #ractopamine were identified in beef destined for #China. #Brazil-based JBS, the world's largest beef producer, said in a statement it is working with U.S. and Chinese authorities to resolve the situation and that no other JBS beef plants in the U.S. have been impacted. The suspension was effective Monday, according to a notice posted on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (#FSIS) website. Ractopamine is a feed additive used to boost animal weights. Its use has been banned or restricted in at least 160 countries, including the #EU, #Russia and China. In addition, China has suspended exports of meat and #poultry products coming from Cool Port Oakland in #Oakland, #California, effective the same date, according to a spokesperson from #USDA FSIS. Cool Port Oakland is a cold storage facility used for perishable or other sensitive goods like #food or #medicine. The company did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. "China customs detected ractopamine in a batch of frozen beef #omasum products exported to China from these establishments and destroyed this batch of products in accordance with their regulations," the USDA FSIS spokesperson said in an email statement. USDA FSIS is conducting an investigation, the spokesperson said. Earlier this year, major food safety, environmental and animal rights groups filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, seeking to force it to reconsider #approvals of ractopamine, which they say is putting human health at risk and causing stress in farm animals prior to #slaughter.
