TEN samples of Japanese imports have passed Hong Kong's radiation test so far after the city strengthened its food safety surveillance, York Chow, Hong Kong's Secretary for Food and Health, said yesterday, adding that any contaminated Japanese food products will be banned from market shelves.
Chow said the food items most at risk from the recent explosions at a Japanese nuclear power plant are fresh products like dairy foods, fruit and vegetables.
"We are monitoring the situation and doing checks to ascertain (whether Japanese food items) have been affected. (If) we detect any problem we will ban those products."
He said the government was more concerned about Hong Kong people close to the leakage in Japan. He urged them to receive hospital checks for radiation contamination. He also called on travelers to postpone trips to the country.
