The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of Hong Kong reported on February 23, 2025, urged the public not to consume a batch of raw milk cheese imported from France due to possible contamination with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). "The CFS received a notification from the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed of the European Commission that the product is being recalled in France and other countries due to possible contamination with STEC. A preliminary investigation found that the importer had imported eight pieces into Hong Kong, weighing about 13.7 kilograms in total, of the affected batch of the product, which has been distributed to the retailer for sale," a spokesman for the CFS said. The importer concerned has stopped the sale, discarded the unsold products of the affected batch, and initiated a recall according to the CFS's instructions. @ https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/press/20250223_11479.html
