China — Meat and Meat Products (Other Than Poultry)

← back to leaderboard

China received 2 RASFF border-rejection notifications in Meat and Meat Products (Other Than Poultry) between 2023-Q4 and 2026-Q3. Volume is newly active in the last year. The most-cited issues are semicarbazide (SEM) and chloramphenicol.

Quarterly rejections, last 12 quarters

By commodity, last 156 weeks

"1 rejection per X t": tonnes of the same product imported for every one, over the same 156 weeks. A dash means fewer than 5 in the window, or under 1,000 t a year imported, too few to rate; the total row pools every product that has import tonnes on record.
