HK bans poultry from Malaysia district
Print Edition
Food safety authorities in China鈥檚 Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have suspended the import of poultry products from Tuaran District of Sabah State in Malaysia.
The Center for Food Safety of the HKSAR government鈥檚 Food and Environmental Hygiene Department said yesterday the decision was made in view of a notification from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) about an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in Tuaran District.
The CFS has instructed the trade to suspend import of poultry meat and products, including poultry eggs, from the district with immediate effect to protect public health in Hong Kong.
A CFS spokesman said that Hong Kong imported about 100 tons of frozen poultry meat and 190 million poultry eggs from Malaysia in the first six months of this year.
The CFS has contacted Malaysian authorities over the issue and will closely monitor all the information issued by the OIE on avian influenza outbreaks.
Appropriate action will be taken as the situation develops, the spokesman said.
