Brazil Says It’s Free of Bird Flu, Paving Way for Export Return

Brazil has declared itself free from bird flu after no new cases emerged in commercial farms since the first outbreak in May, paving the way for a return to international markets for the world’s largest chicken supplier.

The country, which accounts for more than one-third of the global export market, completed a 28-day period without additional cases in commercial flocks, Brazil’s agriculture ministry said Wednesday in a statement.
