BEIJING (AP) – According to the government, the coronavirus was found on ice cream produced in eastern China.
The Daqiaodao Food Co., Ltd. in Tianjin, adjacent to Beijing, has been sealed and its employees are being tested for the coronavirus, according to a statement from the city government. There was no indication that anyone had contracted the virus through the ice cream.
The government said most of the 29,000 cartons had not yet been sold. It is said that 390 sold in Tianjin are being tracked down and that authorities are being notified elsewhere of sales in their areas.
The government has included the New Zealand milk powder and whey powder from Ukraine.
The Chinese government has suggested that the disease, which was only spotted in central Wuhan city in late 2019, came from abroad and highlighted the findings of the coronavirus on imported fish and other foods, although foreign scientists are skeptical. .
