Hong Kong food safety report for December shows 99.9% satisfactory rate
Only 13 of 9,800 food samples tested during December were found to be unsatisfactory, meaning the overall satisfactory rate for the month was 99.9 percent.
The samples comprised about 1,500 samples of vegetables and fruit and other products. The 13 unsatisfactory samples included six vegetable and fruit samples with pesticide residues exceeding the legal limits while the remaining 7 were found in other food groups.
The CFS has taken follow-up action on the unsatisfactory samples including informing the implicated vendors of the test results, instructing them to stop selling the affected food items and tracing the sources of the food items in question.
