Several kinds of imported prepackaged coconut yoghurt suspected to contain undeclared allergen (milk)
The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) received a notification from the Food Standards Australia New Zealand through the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) that the above-mentioned products are being recalled, as they may contain milk, an allergen, but it was not declared on the products' food labels. According to the information provided by INFOSAN, the affected products have been imported into Hong Kong. People who are allergic to milk may have an immunologic response like vomiting, diarrhoea and a rash upon consumption of food containing this allergen.

View recall(Updated on 17 Dec 2024) Undeclared allergen (sulphur dioxide) found in prepackaged pepper sauce sample
The CFS collected the above-mentioned pepper sauce sample from a retail outlet in Wan Chai for testing under its routine Food Surveillance Programme. Although the level of sulphur dioxide found to be contained in the pepper sauce sample is below the statutory maximum permitted level, the functional class and the name of the additive were not declared on the food label of the sample. Sulphur dioxide is a preservative which can be used in a variety of foods including dried vegetables, dried fruits, pickled vegetables and salted fish products. Sulphur dioxide is water soluble, and most of it can be removed through washing and cooking. However, susceptible individuals who are allergic to this preservative may experience breathing difficulties, headaches and nausea after consumption.

The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $50,000 and six months' imprisonment.
