China on Alert as White Spot found in Airport Shrimp Seizure
Quarantine authorities in China are on alert after white spot disease was confirmed in a batch of shrimp seized from luggage taken from a returning tourist at Pudong International Airport in Shanghai.
Inspections of tourist luggage and of packages will be stepped up after laboratory tests on the seized shrimp – which originated in the Philippines – showed the disease, according to a statement from China’s national quarantine body.
