Kaohsiung Xiaogang Airport quarantine officer let prohibited meat products slide? It's fake! The Council of Agriculture held a late-night press conference to condemn the false report

Today (the 23rd), the Council of Agriculture urgently held a press conference at 11 p.m. in response to a media report that cited an unverified tip-off and accused a quarantine officer at Kaohsiung Xiaogang Airport of letting a passenger carrying meat products off the hook after the items were seized. Council of Agriculture Minister Chen Chi-chung played video footage to reconstruct what happened on site and stated that the passenger did indeed verbally declare to customs that they were carrying meat products, and that the quarantine officer only declined to issue a fine after confirming this. The media reported it extensively without verification, seriously hurting epidemic prevention morale.
