Hong Kong to check Japan food imports for radiation
Hong Kong does not depend largely on Japan for its food supply, said Secretary for Food & Health Dr York Chow.
The Centre for Food Ssafety will monitor fresh products from Japan and will check them for radiation.
Dr York Chow said: "I believe the Japanese Government and the Japanese community all have very detailed contingency plans regarding earthquakes. They have been responding extremely well so far in surprisingly good order in handling this type of scale of disaster. We will be communicating with the Japanese Government through the Consulate-General to see whether they need anything. We are always ready to help."
