WASHINGTON - US health and agricultural authorities issued thinly veiled criticism of new demands from China for food-exporting companies to sign documents stating that they comply with safety standards to prevent transmission of Covid-19.
It's the latest rebuff to China, which has issued warning shots to global exporters dealing with outbreaks among employees. While meat companies in Brazil and Europe have signed China's requested affidavit showing a compliance to safety standards, many American exporters have so far been reluctant to take that step for fear of liability.Australia issued a statement dated Tuesday that cited the World Health Organisation, saying that"transmission through food is highly unlikely and there is no evidence of this occurring with Covid-19 globally to date.
The commission said it remains confident that China will refrain from unjustified measures on imported food.
