Authorities in the Chinese province of Shanxi -- just to the west of Beijing -- have issued a notice banning the purchase and sale of vannamei shrimp imported from Ecuador.
The Shanxi Provincial Market Supervision Administration issued the order on Aug. 21, temporarily suspending the purchase, sale and use of the shrimp from that date.
It states all food production and catering services in the province will suspend the purchase of Ecuadorian shrimp, and that shrimp from that country will be immediately removed from shelves.
Authorities were ordered to trace the origin of all inventories to ensure they were not from Ecuador.
This comes hot on the heels of a decision by authorities in the Chinese city of Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, to ban the sale of Ecuadorian shrimp imported before Aug. 17.
The bans have come after China lifted import bans on three Ecuadorian shrimp producers after traces of coronavirus were found on packaging and in a container.
Over the weekend of Aug. 15-16, China lifted the sanctions on a third Ecuadorian shrimp exporter, Empacadora Del Pacifico (Edpacif), after bans on Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscila and Empacreci were lifted on Aug. 10 and 12 respectively.
