| (1) 大灣區食品標準 粵港澳大灣區標準（「灣區標準」）的建設可以促進三地互聯互通和融合發展，深化香港與內地和澳門之間的經貿交流和合作。 「灣區標準」是廣東當局聯繫粵港澳三地多個相關業界團體和企業、相關政府部門和機構、大學及專家共同研制，並在公開諮詢後制訂的。目前， 已制定及公布的「灣區標準」共有270項，涵蓋食品質量和安全、粵菜、交通、機電產品，以至醫療、護理、教育、電競及「環境、社會和管治」等領域。 大灣區食品標準為業界提供了更清晰的指引，亦能推動及便利業界在大灣區其他城市發展與食品相關的業務。 詳情請參閱以下網頁： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/import/greater_bay_area_food_standards.html
(2) 確保院舍食物安全實務指南
在香港，安老院和殘疾人士院舍在照顧及支援弱勢社群方面擔當重要角色。院友往往因長期病患或免疫系統較弱，較容易出現嚴重併發症。鑑於院舍屬於共同生活環境，傳染病容易於院舍內擴散。若處理食物不當，例如貯存不當、烹煮不足或交叉污染，可能引致嚴重的食物中毒爆發。因此，食物處理人員和院舍職員必須認識與食物製備及分發有關的特定風險，並採取針對此高危群組而設的有效食物安全措施。 詳情請參閱以下網頁：

(1) Greater Bay Area Food Standards The development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) standards can promote the interconnectivity and integrated development of the three places, deepening Hong Kong's economic and trade exchanges and co-operation with the Chinese Mainland and Macao. These GBA standards are drawn up after the Guangdong authorities' liaison with various relevant groups and enterprises from the trade, related government departments and organisations, universities and experts in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and are formulated after public consultations. Currently, a total of 270 GBA Standards have been formulated and promulgated, covering the fields of food quality and safety, Cantonese cuisine, transportation, mechanical and electrical products, as well as medical care, nursing care, education, e-sports and "environmental, social and governance" etc. The GBA standards provide clearer guidance for the trade as well as promote and facilitate the trade to develop food-related businesses in other cities in the GBA.

(2) A Practical Guide for Ensuring Food Safety in Residential Care Homes
In Hong Kong, residential care homes for the elderly and persons with disabilities play a vital role in providing care and support to vulnerable populations. Residents of care homes are often at a higher risk of severe complications due to chronic conditions and weakened immune systems. Residential care homes are collective living environments where communicable diseases can easily spread. In this setting, unsafe food handling practices – such as improper storage, inadequate cooking and cross-contamination, can lead to serious food poisoning outbreaks. To address this, food handlers and residential care home staff must be aware of the specific risks associated with food preparation and distribution, and implement robust food safety measures tailored to the needs of this vulnerable population.

(4) Food Adulteration (Metallic Contamination) (Amendment) Regulation 2025
The Food Adulteration (Metallic Contamination) (Amendment) Regulation 2025 (“the Amendment Regulation”) was approved by the Legislative Council through the negative vetting procedure on 30 July 2025. The Amendment Regulation came into operation on 5 September 2025. Taking into account the need to allow sufficient time for traders to adapt to the updated maximum levels (MLs), the Amendment Regulation provides a grace period of 18 months, during which it would be legal for any food item to comply wholly with the requirements of either the regulations under Cap. 132V in force immediately before 5 September 2025 or the Amendment Regulation. All food must comply with the Amendment Regulation starting from 6 March 2027 when the grace period has expired. Please click into the webpage for details:
