China’s General Administration of Customs has suspended the importation of meat from Teys Australia’s meatworks at Naracoorte in South Australia. The suspension follows a recent outbreak of COVID-19 at the abattoir, which sends around five per cent of its production to China. The suspension is part of an ongoing crackdown by Chinese authorities on overseas food processors, due to reports of COVID-19 spreading through meatworks and other frozen food facilities. China has claimed that the virus disease can be transmitted via frozen food packaging, although the World Health Organization says the chances of such transmission are very low.
