Hong Kong to suspend poultry imports from Denmark
The CFS said this recommendation came in view of the notification received from the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) about an outbreak of low-pathogenic H5 avian influenza in the Holstebro Municipality of Denmark.
A CFS spokesman said that Hong Kong imported about 388 tonnes of frozen poultry meat and 280 000 poultry eggs from Denmark in the first three months of this year.
"The CFS has contacted the Danish 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.
