FILE - This Wednesday, April 8, 2020 file photo shows the Smithfield pork processing plant in Sioux Falls, S.D., where health officials reported dozens employees have confirmed cases of COVID-19. On Friday, April 17, 2020, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting that the company's hogs will be raised in the U.S., but slaughtered and packaged for sale in China before being sent back. The false claim has been circulating online since 2014 after Smithfield Foods was sold to Chinese pork giant WH Group in 2013. Jenna Wollin, a spokeswoman for Smithfield Foods, told The Associated Press in an email that the claims circulating online were false. “No Smithfield products come from animals raised, processed, or packaged in China,” she said.
