Argentina's Senasa spends $726M on traceability system, disassociates from contractor amid probe

Argentina's national food safety agency (Senasa) has spent over $726 million on a veterinary traceability system and publicly disassociated itself from a software company's actions following a media investigation into private services linked to the official platform. The agency responded to a public information request but avoided naming the firm, leaving the scope of the alleged misconduct unclear. This raises governance and procurement concerns in a key regulatory body.
