The country's health officials suggested the new outbreak may be linked to these frozen goods because one of the infected patients works at a store that orders such items from overseas, Reuters reported on Thursday. Chinese officials reported similar news this week: Traces of the virus were found on frozen shrimp and chicken-wing packages imported from Ecuador and Brazil, respectively. The municipal health commission in Shenzhen, where officials detected the contaminated chicken-wing packages, warned residents to be "cautious in buying imported frozen meat products and aquatic products in recent days," according to NBC News.

Because people don't normally eat frozen products without, you know, cooking it first.

You don't cook the box though, and there's no telling how many hands have been all over it.

It does seem like a stretch, but don't forget that while contact isn't the primary cause of spread like was originally thought, it's still possible. It's why they still tell you to wash your hands and use sanitizer, it's possible for the virus to be on the box. It doesn't sound as commons as once thought, but it doesn't need to really be that common, just a few out of several hundred can start something.

yeah, how do you think frozen vegetables get listeria or e-coli?

and there are plenty of precooked foods you just thaw and eat

Was hoping we were finally settled on contact with contaminated items not being a major threat. Maybe they were lax because of their low cases though
