The Arkansas plant became ineligible to ship products to China on Sept. 13, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The Sept. 13 suspension was included on a list of recent changes to approved meat imports published on Sept. 15 on the website of China’s General Administration of Customs.

Since the start of the pandemic, 234 plant workers had tested positive for COVID-19 as of Aug. 31, the Arkansas Department of Health said. The facility no longer has more than five active cases, according to the department, which publishes outbreak data on its website.
