Meatpackers JBS SA and Minerva SA are resuming beef sales to Carrefour SA in Brazil after a spat that halted supplies to stores in the South American nation, according to people familiar with the matter.

Carrefour SA Chief Executive Officer Alexandre Bompard plans to issue a public apology to the Brazilian government to settle a controversy over its commitment against selling South American meat in France,

The crisis began when Bompard posted on social media a letter he had sent to French producers, promising not to use meat from Mercosur countries in French markets.
