The positive nucleic acid test of imported foods from the cold chain has recently attracted constant attention. On November 13, 2020, many national reports found that the nucleic acid test of imported food samples from the cold chain was positive.
The Quanzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Fujian Province issued a notice on the afternoon of November 13, stating that in the early morning of November 12, after receiving the “Notification Letter for Frozen Products involved “from Tianjin City, Quanzhou immediately organized an emergency investigation. 2,549 pieces of frozen products were found in Longkai Cold Storage in Fengze District. After verification, the batch of goods has not been sold or has been put on the market after being put into the warehouse on the 11th. In the early morning of the 13th, after unpacking and testing piece by piece, it was found that 4 copies of the outer packaging of frozen products were positive for the novel coronavirus nucleic acid.
According to the report, the prevention and control departments at the city and district levels immediately activated the emergency plan, immediately closed the cold room involved, sealed the related goods, carried out comprehensive management and control of the cold room and its surroundings, and they disinfected all the cold stores involved. Forty-four cargo handlers, cold storage workers and related contacts underwent centralized quarantine medical observation and nucleic acid testing. 44 samples from related personnel and 31 environmental samples outside of cold storage were negative for the test. nucleic acid of the new coronavirus.
The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission website announced on November 13 that the Disease Control and Medical Treatment Team of the Wuhan Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters notified that on November 12, the Department of Disease Control and Prevention of the Wuhan Municipality followed the “ Cold Chain Imported Food Test ” of the Wuhan Municipal Government. According to the “full coverage” requirement, frozen foods from “China Food Wuhan Cold Storage Logistics Co., Ltd. Central Reserve Meat Cold Storage” were tested for the novel coronavirus nucleic acid, and it was found that imported frozen boneless beef hip loin core packaging samples entered from Qingdao Huangdao Customs Three test results were positive.
After investigation, the batch of imported products totaled 27 tons, 1006 boxes, the country of origin was Brazil, the manufacturer’s registration code was 2015, left the port of Santos, Brazil, entered Qingdao Huangdao Customs on 7 August and was deposited in Qingdao Runbo Cold storage was launched on August 15 and stored in Zhongshi cold storage after arriving in Wuhan on August 17, but has not entered the market. At 7 a.m. on November 13, all the frozen products involved were sealed and the environment was completely obliterated. All 200 environmental samples from Sinofood’s cold room and its 112 employees had negative nucleic acid test results.
Furthermore, according to the Shandong Liangshan Disease Control public WeChat account on November 13, 12, Liangshan County found a novel coronavirus nucleic acid test in the outer packaging sample of imported frozen beef products. sold to Liangshan County during the cold chain imported food test. After the test was positive, Liangshan County immediately launched an emergency plan for the prevention and control of cold chain food epidemics, sealed all imported frozen beef products and transport vehicles involved. , eliminated all related companies and the surrounding environment, and performed centralized isolation and isolation of all close contacts. The results of the nucleic acid test were negative.
At the customs level, the website of the General Administration of Customs announced on November 13 that because 3 samples from a batch of frozen cuttlefish imported from India tested positive for the nucleic acid of the new coronavirus, according to the regulations of the General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 103 of 2020, the whole country As of now, the customs suspends the acceptance of M / s. Basu International’s import declaration (Unit I) (registration number 462) is one week and will automatically resume after expiration.
Why has the cold chain repeatedly become a risk point for the epidemic? The Xinhua News Agency reported that, firstly, the low-temperature resistance of the novel coronavirus pneumonia virus facilitates survival on the surface of cold chain food. Second, the large amount of imported food from the cold chain makes it difficult to find all viruses in random inspections. It is subject to storage locations, testing capabilities, disinfection facilities and personnel Due to limited equipment and other factors, it is difficult to sample and test all batches. An industry insider said: “Every link can have the spread of the epidemic. We can’t tell if the virus is hidden in the outer packaging, the inner packaging, or the food itself. Behind all the evidence are huge costs at the expense of work and time “.
Previously, on November 12, the Director of the Office of Food Safety of Import and Export of the General Administration of Customs, Bi Kexin, presented at a press conference held by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council that to effectively prevent the risk of imported food from the cold chain of the new corona pneumonia epidemic, national customs further increased imports. Quarantine efforts for cold chain foods. As of 12pm on November 11, customs across the country had sampled 873,475 samples, of which 13 tested positive for nucleic acid and the other 873,462 samples were all negative.
Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health Commission, said China will further develop key populations such as fever cases, cold chain imported food workers, quarantine workers and imported product workers, as well as medical institutions, food markets. farmers, cold chain food-related environments, etc. Nucleic acid detection realizes early detection, early notification and early warning.
