致食物安全電子信息訂閱者： Dear E-news recipients, 以下資訊已上載到食物安全中心（中心）網站： News on the Centre for Food Safety (CFS) website :     (1) 大灣區食品標準   粵港澳大灣區（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。於二○二三年四月二十四日公布的「灣區標準」清單涵蓋食品質量和安全、粤菜、交通、機電產品，以至醫療、護理、教育及電競等領域合共110個項目。「灣區標準」及有關資料載於「粵港澳大灣區標準信息公共服務平台」，供公眾查閱和業界以自願形式採用。   詳情請參閱以下網頁： (a) 大灣區食品標準(https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/import/greater_bay_area_food_standards.html) (b) 粵港澳大灣區標準化研究中心關於粵港澳大灣區共通執行標準清單的公告 (https://www.tid.gov.hk/tc_chi/aboutus/tradecircular/cic/asia/2023/ci2962023.html) (c) 促進粵港澳大灣區標準發展指南（試行）(https://www.tid.gov.hk/tc_chi/aboutus/tradecircular/cic/asia/2023/ci2972023.html)   (2) 自備餐盒   自備餐盒上學或上班方便我們享用家常菜，是常見的做法。然而，這些餐食在食用前可能會在不安全的温度下儲存或運送一段時間，因此容易受到污染，令有害細菌滋生。若儲存不當，致病菌可繁殖至危險水平或產生毒素，引致食物中毒。   請點擊查看更多資訊： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/consumer_zone/packed_meals.html   (3) 旅遊人士的食物安全貼士   出門旅遊既令人心情興奮，又可增廣見聞，但亦有潛在風險。受污染的水或食物可能引致各種疾病，當中包括輕微和短期的徵狀（例如嘔吐、腹瀉等），以及長期和較嚴重的疾病（例如霍亂、甲型肝炎等）。旅遊人士在外地時務須保持警覺，並應採取以下預防措施，以免染上經食物或水傳播的疾病。   詳情請參閱以下網頁： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/whatsnew/whatsnew_sfst/whatsnew_sfst_Food_Safety_Tips_for_Travellers.html   (4) 停電或水浸期間如何保障食物安全   長時間停電現今在香港已不常見，但基於惡劣天氣或設備故障等不可預見的因素，停電事故仍有可能突然發生。電力中斷可能為時數分鐘至數小時不等，雪櫃無法製冷，不少食物便會迅速變壞。   雖然停電會造成不便，特別是如果雪櫃及冰格內存放了很多容易腐壞的食物，但不必恐慌。參考以下連結的貼士，便可在等待電力恢復時確保食物安全。   詳情請參閱以下網頁： https://www.cfs.gov.hk/tc_chi/food_leg/files/How_to_Keep_Food_in_the_Fridge_Safe_In_Case_of_a_Power_Cut_c.pdf     食物安全中心 20.7.2023 ************************************************************************************ Dear E-news recipients,   News on the Centre for Food Safety (CFS) online:   (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 Mainland and Macao. The list of GBA standards which covers a total of 110 items in the fields of food quality and safety, Cantonese cuisine, transportation, mechanical and electrical products, as well as medical care, nursing care, education, e-sports, etc. announced on 24 April 2023. The GBA standards and related information are available on the GBA Standard Information Public Service Platform (GBA Standard Platform) for public access and voluntary adoption by the trade.   Please click into the webpages for details: (a) Greater Bay Area Food Standards (https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/import/greater_bay_area_food_standards.html) (b) Notice of the Standardization Research Center for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Concerning the Implementation of the List of GBA Standards (https://www.tid.gov.hk/english/aboutus/tradecircular/cic/asia/2023/ci2962023.html) (c) Guide on Promoting the Development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Standards (Trial) (https://www.tid.gov.hk/english/aboutus/tradecircular/cic/asia/2023/ci2972023.html)   (2) Packed Meals   Packing meals to schools and workplaces is a common practice for us to enjoy homemade dishes conveniently. However, these meals may be stored or transported at unsafe temperatures for some time before consumption, making them susceptible to contamination and harmful bacterial growth. If these meals not stored properly, disease-causing bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels or produce toxins, leading to food poisoning.   Please click into the webpages for details: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/consumer_zone/packed_meals.html   (3) Food Safety Tips for Travellers   With summer approaching, many of you may well be planning to travel abroad. Travelling can be exciting and rewarding, but can also carry potential risks. Contaminated water or food can cause a variety of diseases that range from mild and short-lived symptoms (e.g. vomiting, diarrhoea) to longer and more severe diseases (e.g. cholera, hepatitis A). Travellers should remain vigilant when abroad and take the following precautionary measures to prevent food- or water-borne illness.   Please click into the webpages for details: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/whatsnew/whatsnew_sfst/whatsnew_sfst_Food_Safety_Tips_for_Travellers.html   (4) 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.   Please click into the webpage for details: https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/food_leg/files/How_to_Keep_Food_in_the_Fridge_Safe_In_Case_of_a_Power_Cut_e.pdf     Centre for Food Safety 20.7.2023 ***********************************************************************       如要檢視網站版本，請按此。 Please click here to view the web page version. 本食物安全電子信息的內容，包括但不限於所有文本、平面圖像、圖畫、圖片、照片以及數據或其他資料的匯編，均受版權保障。香港特別行政區政府是本信息內所有版權作品的擁有人。除非預先得到食物環境衞生署的書面授權，否則嚴禁複製、改編、分發、發布或向公眾提供該等版權作品。 The content available in this E-News, including but not limited to all text, graphics, drawings, diagrams, photographs and compilation of data or other materials are protected by copyright.
