Hong Kong: Hong Kong Lifts the Ban on Romaine Lettuce from Salinas

Effective January 24, 2020, Hong Kong lifted its ban on the importation and sale of romaine lettuce from Salinas, California. The Hong Kong government (HKG) agreed to resume imports once the ATO provided reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) affirming the resolution of the E. Coli outbreak in late 2019 pertaining to romaine lettuce from Salinas. The HKG imposed the ban on November 23, 2019.
