Hong Kong halts poultry eggs import from India

This is due to the H5N1 avian influenza outbreak in Puri District.

The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has announced the suspension of the import of poultry eggs from Puri District of Odisha State in India. 

This is in view of a notification from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) about an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in the area. 

A CFS spokesman said that Hong Kong has currently established a protocol with India for the import of poultry eggs but not for poultry meat. 

According to the Census and Statistics Department, no eggs were imported into Hong Kong from India in the first six months of this year.
