Testing of imported Japanese aquatic products

From noon on 29 September to noon on 30 September, the Centre for Food Safety tested 223 samples of Japanese imported aquatic products and their products, seaweed and sea salt, and none of the radiation levels exceeded safety standards; over the same period, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department tested 50 samples of local fishery products, all of which were satisfactory. The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has issued a Food Safety Order prohibiting the import into Hong Kong of aquatic products, sea salt and seaweed food originating from 10 prefectures including Tokyo and Fukushima.
