Hong Kong, China: Consultation Document on Proposed Amendments to the Food Adulteration (Metallic Contamination) Regulations (Cap.132V)

Updated on : 17-12-2024

With a view to better protecting public health, facilitating effective regulation and promoting harmonisation between local and international standards, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region proposes, through legislative amendments, to update the Food Adulteration (Metallic Contamination) Regulations (Cap. 132V, Laws of Hong Kong). The proposed amendments aim to keep abreast of international development on maximum levels (MLs) of metallic contaminants in food by adding twenty-seven new MLs for specified metal in specified food (food pair) and updating nine MLs for existing food pairs, with reference to latest standards of Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) and major food importing places.
