Tierra del Fuego Judge Pauses Senasa Rule Allowing Meat With Bone for 30 Days

The precautionary order responds to a ranchers' petition citing threats to Patagonia's foot‑and‑mouth‑disease‑free certification.

Overview

  • The suspension applies only within Tierra del Fuego, while Resolution 460/2025 remains in effect across the rest of Patagonia.
  • The court required a 5 million peso security from the Asociación Rural de Tierra del Fuego and set the pause for 30 days.
  • Chile’s agricultural authority halted recognition of the Patagonian sanitary status and stopped imports after the rule took effect, and the EU signaled possible audits.
  • Senasa defends the measure as aligned with international standards and low risk, while producers warn of market losses, canceled contracts, and job impacts.
  • A Chilean technical mission is expected to inspect the Río Colorado sanitary barrier in the coming days as other provincial legal challenges continue.
