Time and temperature control is the most effective method for ensuring food safety for fish species prone to histamine production.  In the absence of proper time-temperature control such as refrigeration and freezing, formation of histamine may occur at any point throughout the supply chain.  Please click into the webpage for details: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf_150_02.html (3) How to Keep Food Safe in case of Power Cuts or Flooding While prolonged power cut is uncommon nowadays in Hong Kong, unforeseeable factors such as adverse weather or equipment failure make power cut still possible to happen without prior notice. Power disruptions can extend from minutes to hours, and many foods spoil rapidly without refrigeration.  Although power cut can be inconvenient, especially if you have a lot of perishable food in your refrigerator and freezer, there is no need to panic. The following tips help you keep your food safe while waiting for the power to come back on.
