China says frozen chicken wings from Brazil test positive for Coronavirus. Customers in the Chinese city of Shenzhen have been asked to be watchful when purchasing imported frozen foods after a surface sample of chicken wings from Brazil tested positive for coronavirus, as per an announcement given by the local government.
The positive sample appears to have been taken from the surface of the meat, while previously reported positive cases from other Chinese cities have been from the surface of packaging on imported frozen seafood.
The chicken came from an Aurora Alimentos plant in the southern territory of Santa Catarina, as indicated by an enlistment number given in the announcement.
Coronavirus tests of people who have possibly come into contact with the product, and tests of related products, all came back negative, the statement said. Consumers should be cautious when buying imported frozen foods and aquatic products, the government added.
Three packaging samples of imported frozen seafood tested positive for Covid-19 in Yantai, a northern city of Shandong province, the city government said on its official Weibo account Tuesday.
State television Wednesday reported that the outside of an Ecuador frozen shrimp package tested positive for the virus in a restaurant in Wuhu, a city in China’s Anhui province. The packaging on Ecuador shrimps has also tested positive in Xi’an, state television said Thursday.
