Centre for Food Safety says those bringing uncooked food into Hong Kong will not be prosecuted, specially trained detection dogs deployed to step up interception

The Centre for Food Safety reminds that illegally bringing regulated foods such as thoroughly uncooked game, meat, poultry and eggs into Hong Kong will lead to prosecution, and specially trained quarantine detection dogs have been deployed to step up interception at various land boundary control points. The Huanggang Port will commence operation next Monday; food is subject to statutory regulation regardless of whether it is vacuum-sealed or wrapped in foil, and meat that has been blanched but not thoroughly cooked likewise cannot be brought in.
