China Rejects Argentine Beef Shipment Over Banned Antibiotic
China has rejected a 22-ton shipment of Argentine beef after testing reportedly detected traces of chloramphenicol, an antibiotic banned in food-producing animals.
The shipment came from a processing plant in Argentina that was subsequently suspended from exporting to China while authorities investigate how the substance got into the meat.
Argentina’s food-safety agency is investigating the case, while the company has questioned the test results.
Importantly, China did not ban Argentine beef altogether, and the incident does not mean Argentine beef imported into the U.S. is contaminated.
The case comes as the U.S. looks to increase beef imports from Argentina amid rising beef prices. 🇦🇷🇨🇳🇺🇸
