Judge Halts Senasa Rule Allowing Bone‑In Meat Into Patagonia for 30 Days in Tierra del Fuego

The ruling reflects concern that the policy could jeopardize Patagonia’s foot‑and‑mouth disease–free status without vaccination.

Overview

  • Federal judge Mariel Borruto in Río Grande granted an amparo from the Asociación Rural de Tierra del Fuego and suspended the effects of Resolution 460/2025.
  • The injunction runs for 30 days, applies only to Tierra del Fuego, and requires the plaintiffs to post a ARS 5 million bond.
  • Resolution 460/2025 authorized entry of bone‑in meat and genetic material from foot‑and‑mouth disease–vaccinated zones into Patagonia.
  • Chile’s agricultural agency has suspended recognition of Patagonia’s differential sanitary status, and the European Union has indicated possible follow‑up audits that could affect exports.
  • Senasa defends the rule as safe and aligned with international standards, while producers warn of contract losses and inspections by Chilean authorities are expected during the pause.
