Hong Kong: Food Incident Surveillance System Identifies 2000 Incidents in 2021

The Hong Kong government maintains a Food Incident Surveillance System (FISS) to monitor and proactively respond to foreign food incidents that could impact food products entering Hong Kong. In 2021, the CFS detected around 2,200 food incidents from the FISS. This surveillance led to the suspension of oysters harvested from Samish Bay, in Washington State from July to November 2021. In the event of food incidents, trading partners can mitigate the negative impact by providing a prompt response to the Hong Kong government addressing their concerns.
