Press release
This appears in a list about Brazil's main products for export:
'Preparaçoes alimenticias e conservas bovinos'.
I would be tempted to say 'bovine conserves' but that doesn't sound quite right, nor can I find this term on research. Does it refer to gelatine or simply 'beef by-products'?
Many thanks in advance for any input.
Best,
Louise

Comment: "Looking back over the entries, perhaps 'preserved beef products' better captures the meaning in the source. However, I used Richard's suggestion in the translation. I believe Muriel's came in later, and so it's only fair to give Richard the points."
