Sadia Replaces CEO

Brazil meat company Sadia says it has fired its CEO Gilberto Tomazoni and named Jose Julio Cardoso de Lucena in his place. It does not state the reasons for the replacement. Sadia in August merged with Perdigao to form Brasil Foods, but the companies will operate independently for at least a year following formal conclusion of the deal, and retain their respective chairmen and CEOs during that time.
