Reason: The CFS collected the above-mentioned samples from two retail outlets in Kowloon City and Sham Shui Po respectively for testing. The test results showed that the samples contained 210 000 and 55 000 bacteria per gram respectively, exceeding the legal limit. The fact that the total bacterial count exceeded the legal limit indicated that the hygienic conditions were unsatisfactory, but did not mean that consumption would lead to food poisoning
