Several European supermarket chains stop selling some or all beef products from Brazil due to links with destruction of the Amazon rainforest
Deforestation, after falling for several years, has risen since far-right President Jair Bolsonaro came to power in 2019.

Carrefour withdrew Jack Link's brand beef jerky, a pledge also made by Belgian supermarket Delhaize, and Auchan of France similarly said it would be removing beef jerky products linked to JBS.
