Workers prep poultry at the meatpacking company JBS, in Lapa, in the Brazilian state of Parana, Tuesday, March 21, 2017. Brazil's president said Tuesday that a scandal over sale of expired meat is an "economic embarrassment". On Tuesday, Hong Kong's Center for Food Safety announced that it would temporarily suspend imports of frozen and chilled meat and poultry from Brazil, starting immediately, in response to Brazilian investigators charges that health inspectors were bribed to overlook the sale of expired meats.
