China's first accusation of finding traces of COVID in a batch of chicken meat imported from Brazil came two months ago. The charge is now the same, but on a batch of beef imported from a large Brazilian exporter located in the interior of São Paulo.

Chinese officials said they had detected traces of the coronavirus on the beef packaging during an inspection at Dalian Port. The Brazilian embassy in Beijing has already been officially notified of the case.

It is worth mentioning that in the case of chicken that occurred a few months ago, in which the Shenzhen municipal authorities stated that they found the presence of coronavirus in the packaging of a product exported by Brazil, it was never clear what happened, as the counterproof was never shown to Brazilian authorities.
