PepsiCo asserted that its chips and cola manufactured in China had not been impacted by COVID-19, with the novel coronavirus having a zero percent chance of surviving the whole product supply chain.
The Beijing branch of PepsiCo Food (China) Co Ltd suspended operations after an employee was found infected on June 15.
To guarantee food safety and consumers' rights, around 480 PepsiCo employees were sent to concentrated quarantine where they all tested negative for the virus.
Fan Zhimin, an official of PepsiCo Greater China Region, said that the facilities have been disinfected and sterilized twice in the past week.
The Beijing branch produces grain-processed products and potato and puffed foods and is not involved in the production of any beverage products.
The company, through its Weibo and WeChat accounts, noted that PepsiCo Food (China) Co Ltd is a separate entity from Pepsi Cola Beverages Co Ltd and that all the soft drink products the latter canned are not infected by COVID-19.
All of PepsiCo's bottling plants in China are still operating, and all lines of its beverage products meet national standards.
