China’s General Administration of Customs said in a statement late Thursday, they have announced a ban on imports of beef from Australian firm John Dee Warwick.
This comes after they detected a banned chloramphenicol substance in some of the company’s beef loin.
The Customs said they requested a full investigation and a report to China within 45 days from the Australian side after it detected the banned substance.
