China has reportedly suspended meat imports from a U.S. poultry processor and a German pork processor over coronavirus concerns.  Jim Sumner with the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council tells Brownfield first, China stopped taking pork last week from Toennies in Germany. “We got word on Saturday that they were concerned, asking similar questions about a specific Tyson facility in Arkansas.”

The U.S. suspension is for poultry processed at the

Springdale, Arkansas plant. 

Sumner says he sees no reason for China to reject products from plants based on increased positive employee tests for coronavirus.
