(1) 非洲豬瘟與食物安全 非洲豬瘟是嚴重的豬隻病毒性疾病,具高度傳染性,但不會感染人類,也無食物安全風險。世界動物衞生組織指出,非洲豬瘟對人類健康並不構成威脅。 市民應向可靠的持牌店鋪購買肉類。如未能提供官方衞生證明書,切勿攜帶野味、肉類、家禽或蛋類入境。而豬肉必須徹底煮熟才可食用,因為未經煮熟的豬肉可能含有食源性病原體。 詳情請參閱以下網頁: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/whatsnew/whatsnew_fstr/African_Swine_Fever_ASF.html (2) 慎防生蠔存有的風險 供生吃的蠔在進食前沒有經過加熱處理殺死病原體,因此是高風險食物。除了活蠔以外,市面可供市民購買的生蠔往往是預先去殼的冷藏或冰鮮生蠔,處理不當可導致細菌污染及蠔隻變壞。 孕婦、嬰幼兒、長者和免疫力弱人士應避免進食生或未煮熟的蠔。 詳情請參閱以下網頁: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/multimedia/multimedia_pub/multimedia_pub_fsf_194_03.html (3) 食安中心公布二○二二年十二月份食物安全報告及二○二二年食物監測計劃全年總結 中心每月公布「食物安全報告」,分享食物監測結果,令市民可適時獲得最新的 食物安全資訊。中心並總結二○二二年食物監測計劃,除日常食品監測外,亦進行多項專項食品、時令食品及普及食品調查。 詳情請參閱以下網頁: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/press/20230131_10126.html (4) 網購的安全風險 近年在網上購買食物愈趨普遍,透過網站或流動應用程式訂購食品或外送餐點確實方便。不過,消費者在網購食物,尤其是高風險限制出售的食物時要留神,最好先核實商戶的牌照/許可證資料才下單,食物安全才更有保障。 歡迎到以下網頁閱覽: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/whatsnew/whatsnew_fst/whatsnew_fst_Online_Shopping_of_High_risk_Foods.html (5) 二零二三年食物安全巡迴展覽 2023年2月的巡迴展覽內容包括追蹤供應來源,保障食物安全、殘餘除害劑、反式脂肪、營養標籤、基因改造食物、進食帶子和扇貝須知及避免食用河豚。展覽將設於石湖墟街市、大橋街市、石塘咀街市及長沙灣政府合署。 請點擊查看具體時間: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/whatsnew/whatsnew_act/whatsnew_act_roving_exhibition_2023.html 食物安全中心 16.2.2023 ============================================================= Dear E-news recipients, News on the Centre for Food Safety (CFS) online: (1) African Swine Fever (ASF) and Food Safety African Swine Fever (ASF) is a severe, highly contagious, viral disease affecting pigs, but it does not infect humans and poses no food safety risk. According to the World Organisation for Animal Health, ASF is not a human health threat. The public should purchase meat from reliable and licensed premises and do not bring any game, meat, poultry or eggs into Hong Kong without official health certificates. Pork should always be fully cooked before consumption as undercooked pork may harbour foodborne pathogens. Please click into the webpage for details: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/whatsnew/whatsnew_fstr/African_Swine_Fever_ASF.html (2) Beware of the Inherent Risks of Raw Oysters Oysters for raw consumption are a high-risk food as there is no heat treatment to kill pathogens before eating. Besides those sold alive, raw oysters available in the local market are often pre-shucked in either frozen or chilled forms. If not handled properly, it can lead to bacterial contamination and deterioration of the shellfish. Pregnant women, infants and young children, the elderly and people with weakened immunity should avoid consuming raw or undercooked oysters.

The CFS also concludes the food surveillance programme for 2022. Apart from routine food surveillance, the CFS also conducted a number of targeted, seasonal and popular food surveillance projects.

Consumers, however, should exercise caution when purchasing food online, particularly high-risk (restricted) foods. It is best to double-check the licence/permit details of the food premises before placing an order for ensuring food safety.
