Hong Kong halts poultry imports from a Swedish county over AI fears
CFS has instructed traders to suspend the import of poultry meat and products, including poultry eggs, from the area with immediate effect to protect public health in Hong Kong.
The ban comes after the Hong Kong authorities received a notification from the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) about the AI outbreak in the Swedish county.
A CFS spokesman said that Hong Kong imported about 0.3 tonnes of frozen poultry meat and 218,000 poultry eggs from Sweden in the first three months of this year.
"The CFS has contacted the Swedish authorities over the issue and will closely monitor information issued by the OIE on avian influenza outbreaks. Appropriate action will be taken in response to the development of the situation," the spokesman said.
