Hong Kong Temporarily Halts Canadian Beef Imports Canada’s first
confirmed local case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) has prompted
Hong Kong’s Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) to
temporarily suspend the import of beef from Canada. Announcing the measure on
May 21, a FEHD spokesman said, “We welcome the Canadian Government’s
transparent approach in handling the incident and are also in agreement with
their control and preventive measures generally." The suspension is deemed
necessary to allow the Canadian authority time to conduct its investigation
and institute remedial and preventive measures. FEHD will be working
closely with the Canadian authority and the Canadian Consulate General in
Hong Kong to ensure effective management of this issue. |
