Information – Safer Food Choices for Pregnant People
If you are pregnant, you are more likely than other people to get sick from certain germs.
To prevent food poisoning, some foods are safer choices than others. That’s because some foods—such as undercooked meat and eggs, unwashed fruits and vegetables, and unpasteurized milk — are more often associated with foodborne illnesses. Use the table at the link above as a guide to safer food choices.
Information – Safer Food Choices for People With Weakened Immune Systems
People with weakened immune systems have a higher risk of food poisoning. That’s because a weakened immune system may make it more difficult for your body to fight germs and sickness effectively. Weakened immune systems may be due to diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, alcoholism, HIV, autoimmune disorders (such as lupus), or receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Information – Safer Food Choices for Children Under 5 Years Old
Young children have a higher risk of food poisoning. Their immune systems are still developing, so their bodies aren’t able to fight germs and sickness as well as adults. Food poisoning can be particularly dangerous for them because it can lead to diarrhea and dehydration.

Hong Kong – Not to consume a kind of goat cheese imported from France suspected to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes
| Issue Date | 29.8.2023 |
|---|---|
| Source of Information | The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) of the European Commission |
| Food Product | Goat cheese |
| Product Name and Description | Product name: PALET DU BERRY
Brand: XAVIER Place of origin: France Pack size: 150 grams Lot number: 3288624, 3319239, 3319293 Best-before date: August 10, 2023; August 25, 2023 and August 31, 2023 Importer: GOURMET EN PROVENCE LIMITED |
| Reason For Issuing Alert | The CFS received a notification from the RASFF of the European Commission that the above-mentioned batches of product might have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes and are being recalled.
Listeria monocytogenes can be easily destroyed by cooking but can survive and multiply at refrigerator temperature. Most healthy individuals do not develop symptoms or only have mild symptoms like fever, muscle pain, headache, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea when infected. However, severe complications such as septicaemia, meningitis or even death may occur in newborns, the elderly and those with a weaker immune system. Although infected pregnant women may just experience mild symptoms generally, the infection of Listeria monocytogenes may cause miscarriage, infant death, preterm birth, or severe infection in newborns. In order to reduce the risk of listeriosis, susceptible populations such as pregnant women should consume freshly prepared hot food where possible, reheat chilled food until it is hot all the way through, and avoid high-risk foods, including ready-to-eat food such as cold cuts, cold smoked seafood, soft cheeses, salads, etc, or cook them thoroughly before consumption, even if they are presented as part of a dish. |
| Action Taken by the Centre for Food Safety | Upon learning of the incident, the CFS immediately contacted the concerned local importer for follow-up. A preliminary investigation found that the above-mentioned importer had imported into Hong Kong the affected batches of the product concerned. The importer concerned has stopped sales, has removed the affected product from shelves and has initiated a recall according to the CFS’s instructions. |
| Advice to the Trade | The trade should stop using or selling the affected batch of products immediately if they possess it. |
| Advice to Consumers | Not to consume the affected products if they have bought any. |
| Further Information | The CFS press release
Members of the public may call the hotline of the importer at 3113 1314 during office hours for enquiries about the recall of the product concerned. |
