Data Report

NOTE - Please use this thread for any E. Coli-related events that occur in China (which includes Hong Kong). I understand the political tensions of putting the two together; This board is about diseases, not "What is a country and what isn't?" If the two really need to be separated, that issue is for another day.

SUMMARY - The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has issued an urgent advisory today (23rd February), urging the public to refrain from consuming a specific batch of raw milk cheese imported from France due to a potential contamination with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Retailers and distributors are instructed to cease the sale of this product immediately.

COMMENTARY - Another dairy product recalled for safety reasons because it was made from raw milk? You don't say. And it was made by Perrin Vermot? Didn't France recall some of their stuff in January? Huh. What an amazing coincidence...
