ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Tyson Foods is looking into reports that China’s
customs agency has suspended poultry imports from a Tyson facility in the United
States after coronavirus cases were confirmed among its employees. A Tyson
spokesman said Sunday that the plant in question is in Springdale, Arkansas. The
spokesman said that all global and U.S. health organizations agree that there is
no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food. The
