The Chinese government announced that imported cold chain food must be thoroughly disinfected before going on sale, amid rising public concerns over recent incidents in which live coronavirus was detected on the outer packaging of imported cold chain food in three cities in two days.
Imported cold chain food, loading and transporting carriers, and the inner and outer packaging will be thoroughly disinfected to achieve closed-loop control and traceability for the whole process, in order to minimize the risk of bringing in COVID-19 through imported cold-chain food, China’s State Council said on Monday.
If an imported food product tests positive for COVID-19, it will be returned or destroyed in accordance with the regulations.
