    The USDA told Reuters that Mexican exports from the western state of Michoacán have not been blocked. Additionally, avocados and mangos already in transit wouldn’t be affected by the suspension of inspections, which would be paused “until further notice.”

    So we’re saying “if you beat up our people, we’ll stop enforcing our policies and still do business with you”

    Cool

    I’ll make a point to not buy Mexican avocados and mangos until this is fully resolved because who knows what’s happening with them if the people who are charged with ensuring their safety get beaten up.

      Too lazy to do anything that actually fixes it, cope.

      US inspects warehouses where food is imported from. The inspectors got beat up/threatened. Not the first time. There was an avocado pause during COVID too
