Malachite green scare eased in Hong Kong
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-08-28 10:31 Scare about malachite green in Hong Kong has been
eased Saturday since the government promised to strengthen inspection on
freshwater fish.
Permanent Secretary for Health, Welfare & Food Carrie Yau said the
government is considering whether it should introduce law amendments stipulating
that all fish traders must buy fish from registered fish farms or approved
places.
However, Yau said while the proposal could further ensure food safety,
residents would have fewer choices when buying fish. She promised that the
government will consult the public before making any decision.
She hoped consumer confidence in freshwater fish can be restored after the
malachite green scare.
