No abnormalities found in coldchain meat products from Vietnam, Brazil

IAM has found no abnormalities in re-tests of cold-chain meat products imported from Vietnam and Brazil, the Municipal Affairs Bureau announced in a statement. The retesting follows China’s recent announcement that samples of packaging containing frozen aquatic products imported from manufacturers in Vietnam tested positive in novel coronavirus nucleic acid tests. Furthermore, Hong Kong has announced that the outer packaging sample of a batch of frozen chicken drumsticks imported from Brazil tested positive for the virus as well. IAM has immediately suspended the import applications of the products of the relevant manufacturers following the notice.
