This customer is an adamant user of GOP. For so long, we have been trying to get them to buy from us. Their consumption only for Chuck Short Ribs is +13,000lb/month (almost +6mt kg/ month). We sent a sample of JBS SBA Choice Chuck Short Ribs, keeping in mind our efforts of wanting to market this brand. Unfortunately, the sample had a negative feedback- due to the smell and appearance (blood clot) This is really alarming- We need to find a solution ASAP! 9 Best Regards, Rea De Guzman Secretary 10 Tel : 00965 22278660 P.O.Box: 3769 Hawalli 32068 Kuwait www.usfservices.com From: Rea De Guzman Sent: 29 September 2022 12:47 To: 'Peixoto, Fernando' < Fernando.Peixoto@jbssa.com > Cc: Francisco Vaz < francis@usfservices.com >; Haytham Ramadan < haytham@usfservices.com >; Kassem Atoui < kassem@usfservices.com > Subject: RE: CHUCK SHORT RIBS CLAIM- PRIME & CAB & BLACK ANGUS CHOICE Importance: High Hello Mr Fernando, Can we know what’s the progress for the claims request?

Importance: High Hi Mr. Fernando, As you are already aware- we are facing major complaints from a lot of our customers for the Chuck Short Ribs 4 Bone. All have similar points. 1) Discoloration on the rack 2) Foul odor once the vacuum is opened. Even after a while, there is still an odor on the piece that can be smelled on the bone as well. We have no explanations for our customers as they are dealing directly with us. We don’t know what more excuses to tell them. Even now, as they receive cases of Swift brand; they think twice before accepting it. Most of them have rejected using Swift and is requesting for alternatives. Not only is this problem damaging our relationship with our customer but it is also ruining the reputation of JBS SWIFT. Please provide a solution for this. I am attaching two claims. Please note THESE ARE NOT CLOSED CLAIMS AS WE KEEP FINDING UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS AS AND WHEN THERE IS AN ORDER We have started pulling out the items from different expiry dates and will not know what to expect until we send it to the customer.
