A press conference was held by the Shandong Provincial Government to provide updates on the 'milk date' incident, in which tens of thousands of milk dates contaminated with a food-related epidemic product from Tianjin were sold online across 321 cities and counties in 25 provinces. The contamination was traced back to whey powder imported from Ukraine, which tested positive for the nucleic acid of the contaminated food product. Despite the low viral load and the dead virus theory, health authorities have declared the risk of infection as extremely low. A total of 22.22 tons of contaminated milk dates were offline sold, and 4.5 tons were sold online, prompting immediate action to halt production and sales, and providing negative nucleic acid test results for all involved individuals.
