The Brazilian Agriculture Ministry on Wednesday updated the list of countries that have placed restrictions on chicken trade with the world's largest exporter after it confirmed its first case of bird flu on a commercial farm.

Poultry trade bans triggered by a bird flu outbreak in Brazil may weigh on domestic chicken prices, offering some relief - if even short-lived - from the food inflation that has undermined the government's popularity, Reuters reported, citing analysts.

The European Union, China and Canada have suspended poultry imports from the South American country.
