CFS Warns Against Consuming Canned Pork Due to Sulfamethazine Contamination Risk

CFS urges public not to consume a batch of imported canned shredded pork and preserved vegetable found with possibly excessive Sulfamethazine

The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department today (December 7) urged the public not to consume a batch of imported canned shredded pork and preserved vegetable, as the product was found to possibly contain an excessive amount of Sulfamethazine, a veterinary drug residue. The trade should stop using or selling the affected batch of the product immediately if they possess it.

Product details are as follows:

Product name: Ma Ling Shredded Pork and Preserved Vegetable

Brand: Ma Ling

Place of origin: China

Net weight: 240 grams

Best-before date: April 7, 2028

Distributor: Champion Fair Limited

A spokesman for the CFS said, "The CFS noted a notification from the Macao authority that the above-mentioned product was detected with an excessive amount of Sulfamethazine. Upon learning of the incident, the CFS immediately followed up. A preliminary investigation found that the above-mentioned distributor had imported into Hong Kong the affected batch of the product concerned."

The distributor concerned has stopped sales, removed from shelves the affected batch of the product, and initiated a recall according to the CFS's instructions. Members of the public may call the distributor's hotline at 2766 0128 during office hours for enquiries about the recall.

"Sulfamethazine is a sulfonamide antimicrobial drug. According to the detected level of the veterinary drug residue found by the relevant authority in the sample concerned, occasional consumption will not cause adverse health effect. However, consumption on a long-term basis may cause hypersensitivity and damage to the urinary system," the spokesman added.

The spokesman urged members of the public who had bought the affected batch of the product to stop consuming it. The trade should also stop using or selling the product concerned immediately.

The CFS has alerted the trade to the incident, and will continue to follow up and take appropriate action. An investigation is ongoing.
