TWO shipments of cooked prawns imported from China have been blocked due to the presence of cholera bacteria.
The shipments were blocked in October and November after they failed routine testing for the vibrio cholerae bacteria by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service.
It was the first time cholera bacteria had been detected in shipments of cooked prawns since three shipments with positive results were blocked in the second half of 2010.
