(4) CFS announces results of seasonal food surveillance on rice dumplings
On 12th June, CFS announced the results of a recently completed seasonal food surveillance project on rice dumplings. Of the 160 samples tested, one prepackaged rice dumpling sample was found with a total fat content inconsistent with the declared value on its nutrition label that was announced earlier. The remaining samples passed the tests. Rice dumplings are a popular festive food for the Tuen Ng Festival. The project aims to provide information on safe consumption of rice dumplings to consumers and the trade in a timely manner.
