Worrisome finding in China: they detected coronavirus in ice cream

A disturbing discovery has been made in China in recent days. According to the government of the Asian country, they detected coronavirus in ice cream produced in the east of the country, forcing the withdrawal of packaging of products of the same batch from the market.

Daqiaodao Food Co., Ltd. in Tianjin, near Beijing, has been isolated and its workers tested for infection, the city government said in a statement. So far, there was no indication that anyone had contracted the virus from eating ice cream.

What the authorities were able to verify is that more than 29,000 packages in the lot had not been sold. And that 390 of the products already sold in Tianjin have been tracked, alerting authorities elsewhere on shipments to their regions.

The mystery of covid-19 found in ice cream has brought to light the presence of the virus in food products and its duration in them, since the ingredients included milk powder from New Zealand and whey powder from Ukraine , according to the authorities.

As a result, the Chinese government has hinted that the disease, first detected in late 2019 in central China’s Wuhan city, came from overseas and highlighted what it describes as the discovery of a coronavirus in fish. and other imported foods, despite the skepticism of foreign scientists.

The 1,662 employees of Daqiaodao Food Co., Ltd. have been quarantined and subjected to samples; 700 tested negative and further results have not been announced.
