Hong Kong's law on food preservatives will be updated to meet
the international standards and the consultation process will start
this year, said the food safety authority Tuesday.
Hong Kong has its own regulations on preserves used in food so
far and food safety authority will make reference to relative
international standards during its implementation process.
The Center for Food Safety Controller and Expert Committee on
Food Safety held a meeting on food safety control Tuesday and said
it is necessary to bring Hong Kong's food preserves law in line
with international standards and offer the food trade clearer
guidelines.
