China suspends imports of U.S. poultry meat
14 April, 2025
China's General Administration of Customs (GAC) has decided to suspend poultry meat exports from certain U.S. companies, including Mountaire Farms of Delaware, Inc. and Coastal Processing, LLC, to China. The decision follows the detection of Salmonella in imported U.S. poultry meat and bone meal by Chinese customs authorities. The GAC stated that the suspension was also prompted by repeated findings of the prohibited drug Nitrofurazone in imported U.S. chicken products. This measure is intended to safeguard consumer health and safety.
