BEIJING (REUTERS) – China’s Customs authority has asked food exporters to the country to sign a declaration their produce is not contaminated by the novel coronavirus, three people who received a letter said on Friday (June 19).
The declaration, seen by Reuters, might be an effort by China to reduce the additional testing it has carried out on imported foods over the past week and make exporters responsible for guaranteeing their products’ safety, one meat importer who had signed it said.
He declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue.
