The study claims that suppliers of corn and soya beans used to feed chickens produced by the US food processing company [JBS]( – the world’s largest meat firm – are connected with deforested regions in the Amazon and the Cerrado. JBS exports Brazilian beef, pork and chicken to companies around the world, including Europe, China and the Middle East. The UK imported at least $500 (£444m) of Seara products – a subsidiary of JBS – over the last three years to wholesalers, food service and processing companies, which supply supermarkets, [schools](, hospitals and care homes. Seara chicken, which produces more than five million birds a day from its Brazilian poultry farms, supplies some of the world's biggest supermarkets and fast-food chains.
