Jiangsu Halts Exports of Hairy Crabs From Two Aquaculture Farms

(Beijing) — Exports of hairy crabs from two major aquaculture farms in the coastal province of Jiangsu have ground to a halt after Hong Kong food safety inspectors found cancer-causing chemicals in the farms' crustaceans.

The Jiangsu Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said on Wednesday that it has temporarily stopped issuing quarantine certificates, necessary for exports, to shipments from Jiangsu Taihu Aquatic Product Co. Ltd. and Wujiang Wanqing Taihu Lake Crabs Breed Co. Ltd.
