賀年食品調查
Lunar New Year Food

中心上月已公布賀年食品第一期調查結果。農曆新年將至，中心已完成第二期調查，從不同零售商（包括網上零售商）抽取了糕點（如蘿蔔糕和年糕）、油器（如煎堆和油角）、糖果、湯圓、瓜子及海味等樣本，除進行化學及微生物測試外，亦包括營養成分測試，詳情及結果已上載於中心網頁。
The CFS announced the first-phase test results on Lunar New Year (LNY) food last month. As the LNY is around the corner, the CFS has completed the second phase of the surveillance project. Different types of LNY food, including steamed puddings (e.g. turnip puddings and festive cakes), fried dumplings (e.g. sesame balls and crispy triangles), candied fruits, glutinous rice balls, melon seeds and dried aquatic products, were collected from different retailers (including online retailers). In addition to carrying out chemical and microbiological tests, the CFS also conducted nutrition content analysis of food samples. Details and results have been uploaded onto the CFS website.

火鍋食物專題調查結果

Test results on hot pot food samples

 

中心最近完成一項普及食品的專題調查，評估火鍋食物的食用安全。三百五十個不同種類的火鍋食物樣本中，除較早前公布的一個瓶裝醋樣本檢出不准用於醋的防腐劑及一個沙茶醬樣本檢出防腐劑含量超出法例標準外，其餘樣本全部通過檢測。

 

CFS has recently completed a survey assessing the food safety of hot pot cuisine. The results of 350 hot pot food samples passed the tests except for one bottled vinegar sample found to contain a preservative not permitted in vinegar and one satay paste sample found to contain preservatives at levels exceeding the legal limits, which were announced earlier.
