Brasília: Major beef market Hong Kong Tuesday ended a blanket ban imposed on Brazilian meat imports in a scandal over expired meat being passed off as fresh, Brazil's government said.

"Brazil is satisfied to have received the news that Hong Kong has reopened its market to Brazilian meat" except for products from 21 companies directly implicated in the food scare, it said in a statement.
