Hong Kong releases Aurora chicken shipment after tests show no risk of Covid contamination
Aug, 28, 2020 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 202035
According to ABPA – the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein – health authorities in Hong Kong released shipments of SIF 601 from Aurora Alimentos, a unit located in Xaxim (SC), whose chicken exports had been temporarily suspended for tests. The results of the tests showed an absence of any contamination by Covid-19.
According to the statement, “The Center for Food Safety and the Department for Food Hygiene and the Environment of Hong Kong today issued the authorization to resume shipments, after presenting all clarifications made by the Ministry of Agriculture of Brazil, with the support of the cooperative and the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) ”.
The blockade had been imposed by Hong Kong later this month, after the government of the Chinese city of Shenzhen, in the south of the country, reported that a sample of frozen chicken wings imported from that unit tested positive for the coronavirus, which triggered the voluntary suspension of chicken shipments from this unit to China.
