Manila, August 17 (RHC)-- The Philippines has imposed a temporary ban on poultry meat imports from Brazil after two cities in China found traces of the new coronavirus in cargoes of imported frozen food, including chicken wings from the South American country.
Shenzhen city authorities identified the chicken as originating from a plant owned by Aurora, Brazil's third-largest poultry and pork exporter.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said it saw no evidence of coronavirus being spread by food or packaging and urged people not to be afraid of the virus entering the food chain.
