Government concerned about the results of Top Ten Consumer News
The Health, Welfare and Food Bureau (HWFB) is concerned about the results of Top
Ten Consumer News in 2005. The Government understood that people were very
concerned about food safety and public health. As the policy bureau, the HWFB
was dedicated to safeguarding public health, a spokesman for the bureau said
today (January 26).
"We look forward to setting up the proposed Centre for Food Safety as soon as
possible to enhance food safety and protect public health to meet the growing
public expectation for better food quality and higher safety standards," the
spokesman said.
The Government called on the trade to co-operate and not to procure food
products from unknown source. Members of the public should be cautious in
choosing food products. They may report the sale of expired food to 2868 0000.
