Authorities from China claim they have found traces of the coronavirus in a frozen meat shipment sent from a meat-processing plant in Barretos, São Paulo state, belonging to Brazilian food giant Minerva.
Tests were reportedly made on October 1 and the slaughterhouse has been suspended from sending any products to China. According to the Chinese Embassy in Brasília, the suspension is “temporary and will not have a substantial effect on bilateral trade of agricultural goods.”
Minerva confirmed the suspension, but didn’t disclose the reasons.With the new case, ten Brazilian meat- or fish-processing plants have been suspended by Chinese customs authorities due to coronavirus-related issues.
