SAO PAULO, April 19 (Reuters) - A Brazilian trade group said 12 plants operated by food company BRF SA have been targeted by a European Union ban on poultry imports from the South American country.
Ricardo Santin, vice president of markets at trade group ABPA, told Reuters on Thursday that a total of nine companies had been affected by the measure, which was adopted because of "deficiencies detected in the Brazilian official control system." (Reporting by Ana Mano Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
