Authorities in China are urging consumers to be vigilant about imported meat and seafood following a spate of similar discoveries in recent weeks.
Officials in the Chinese city of Shenzhen said on Thursday that a batch of frozen chicken wings imported from Brazil tested positive for coronavirus, sparking fresh concerns about contamination on frozen food packaging, and following a scare in June surrounding salmon in Beijing. Authorities in Beijing increased screening of imported food in June, after a spike in cases linked to a seafood market in the capital. Traces of the virus were found on chopping boards used to cut imported salmon at the huge Xinfadi market, prompting shops and markets to rid their shelves of the fish.
