Centre for Food Safety

The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) is a Hong Kong authority responsible for ensuring food safety and public health. Recent news highlights the CFS's role in responding to various food safety concerns. The CFS has been actively involved in banning poultry imports from specific regions in Japan and Denmark due to outbreaks of bird flu. They are also addressing concerns about raw oyster safety following food poisoning cases, with restaurants urging the CFS to provide clearer origin information. Furthermore, the CFS is investigating potential contamination in infant milk formula, including Nestlé and Aptamil products, and has initiated recalls of affected batches due to the presence of toxins like cereulide. These actions demonstrate the CFS's ongoing efforts to monitor, investigate, and mitigate food safety risks to protect public health in Hong Kong.
