Hong Kong Takes Preventative Measures in Response to a UK Food Safety Scandal





Marks & Spencer, a grocery chain in Hong Kong, moved quickly to remove produce sourced from 2 Sisters Food Group even after UK's Food Standards Agency approved the two accused plants as satisfactory in an audit. 

Indeed the produce which Marks & Spencer ultimately pulled were not even imported from the two suspected plants, but by the 26th after reports of reusing dirty poultry and improper storage were already being made public, the grocery chain removed and sealed half a tonne of poultry. 

In the UK, this also has not stopped major supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s from rushing to conduct independent testing of their meat produce.
