Industry stakeholders call on government to urgently address critical gaps in the city’s seafood import regulations
A consortium of civil society organisations has called on the Hong Kong government to urgently address critical gaps in the city’s seafood import regulations, with the coalition warning that the current framework dates back to the 1940s and is failing to ensure the safety, sustainability and traceability of seafood products entering the market. This, it insists, is posing risks to public health, marine ecosystems and consumer trust.
