Reports: Coronavirus Detected on Frozen Chicken Wings from Brazil
According to multiple reports, health officials in Shenzhen, China said that a batch of frozen chicken wings tested positive for the novel coronavirus on Wednesday. The meat was imported from Brazil. The news was posted on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.
While Chinese health officials did not identify the brand of chicken, some reports have learned that the chicken came from an Aurora Alimentos plant in the southern state of Santa Catarina, according to a registration number given in the statement. Chinese health officials are working to trace other food products that may have also been imported from the same company. Besides the one batch that tested positive, other related products tested negative for the virus, but they have been "sealed off."
