The Chinese General Administration of Customs yesterday said it found residues of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the packaging of frozen horse mackerel imported from Taiwan.
It is the second such claim Beijing made this month.
China on June 10 said that imports of beltfish from a Taiwanese company would be banned for one week, as the virus had been detected on the packaging of the company’s frozen white ribbon fish.
The Council of Agriculture (COA) at the time called on Chinese authorities to present scientific evidence to support its claim.

The ban was promulgated on Friday last week after SARS-CoV-2 was detected on the packaging of several items, Ma said.
