| 食安中心(中心)公布檢測巴西進口雞肉樣本結果
Centre for Food Safety (CFS) announces test results of poultry meat samples from Brazil 因應深圳市疫情防控指揮部辦公室的信息指深圳發現一份從巴西進口的雞翼表面樣本對2019冠狀病毒病檢測結果呈陽性，作為預防性措施，中心已從進口及批發層面抽取共40個來自巴西的冷藏雞肉樣本作2019冠狀病毒病檢測。檢測結果顯示，所有樣本對2019冠狀病毒病呈陰性反應。
中心八月十三日得悉有關事件後，已即時向深圳及巴西有關當局了解事件，並與本地主要進口商及零售商跟進。調查發現，涉事批次雞翼迄今沒有在港發售。為審慎起見，中心亦暫時停止辦理相關廠房（註冊號：SIF601）的禽肉進口許可證申請，並等待有關當局提供進一步相關個案的調查和化驗資料。
根據世界衞生組織和各地的食物安全機構資料，目前沒有證據顯示人類會透過食物感染2019冠狀病毒病。中心提醒市民應徹底煮熟食物，避免食用生或未煮熟的� �物產品，以及分開處理生熟食物，特別是處理生肉及內臟，以免食物交叉污染；並時刻保持個人、食物及環境衞生。特別是市民應注意手部衞生，若接觸環境表面或未煮熟食物後，不應觸摸眼、耳、口或鼻。
食物業員工應時刻保持雙手清潔，並經常清潔和消毒物件表面，特別是食物業店內的食物接觸面（如餐廚具、外賣保溫袋、收銀台輸送帶等）和頻密接觸點（如門柄、購物車把手、水龍頭等），確保環境衞生，同時採取保持社交距離的措施。員工如患有或懷疑受到傳染病感染或出現病徵，應停止處理食物及盡早求醫。
中心會繼續跟進事件和因應最新情況採取適當行動。
In view of a notice issued by the Shenzhen Headquarters for Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Epidemic Caused by Novel Coronavirus that a surface sample of chicken wings imported from Brazil teste d positive for COVID-19 in Shenzhen, the CFS had taken a total of 40 samples of frozen chicken meat from Brazil at import and
wholesale levels for testing of the COVID-19 as a precautionary measure. All samples tested negative for the COVID-19.
Upon learning of the incident on August 13, the CFS had immediately contacted the relevant authorities in Shenzhen and Brazil to understand the incident, and followed up with major local importers and retailers. An investigation revealed that the batch of
chicken wings concerned has not been on sale in Hong Kong so far. For the sake of prudence, the Centre has also temporarily suspended the import licence application for import of poultry meat into Hong Kong from the plant concerned (registration number: SIF601), while waiting for further case investigation and testing details from the relevant authorities.
According to the World Health Organization and global food safety authorities, there is no evidence indic ating that humans can be infected by the COVID-19 via food. The CFS reminded the public to cook food thoroughly and avoid consuming raw or undercooked animal products, as well as to handle raw and cooked food separately, especially when handling raw meat and offal, so as to avoid cross-contamination of food. Members of the public should also maintain personal, food and environmental hygiene at all times. In particular, the public should observe hand hygiene and avoid touching the eyes, ears, mouth or nose after contacting the surfaces of environment and uncooked food.
Food handlers that they should always keep their hands clean and frequently clean and disinfect surfaces, especially food contact surfaces in food premises (such as tableware, kitchenware, insulated bags for takeaways, conveyor belts at cashier desks) and frequent-touch points (such as door handles, handles of shopping trolleys and water taps) to ensure environmental hygiene, while social distancing measures should also be adopted. Food handlers should cease engaging in any food handling work and seek medical advice promptly when suffering or suspected to be suffering from an infectious disease or symptoms of illness.
The CFS will continue to follow up on the incident and take appropriate action in light of the latest development.
