Mexico said on Saturday it is suspending imports of poultry products from Brazil after the South American country confirmed its first outbreak of bird flu on a poultry farm.

"With the aim of protecting the national poultry industry, Mexico is temporarily suspending the import of chicken meat, fertile eggs, live birds, and other poultry products from Brazil as a precaution," Mexico's Agriculture Ministry said in a statement.
