The Food Safety Ordinance which strengthens food safety control
to protect public health commences on 1 August 2011. It includes a
registration scheme for food importers and food distributors and a
record-keeping requirement relating to the movements of food. There
is a six-month grace period for the two requirements, which both ends
on 31 January 2012.
1. Registration scheme for food importers and
food distributors
Who should register?
All food importers and food distributors in Hong Kong (except those
being exempted).
Who are exempted from registration?
Food importers or food distributors who have already registered or
have obtained a licence under other ordinances are exempted from
the registration requirement. Details for exemption are listed at
Schedule 1 of the Food Safety Ordinance.
How to register?
Applications can be submitted by paper or electronic means. Forms
can be downloaded at the website www.foodsafetyord.gov.hk.
2. Record-keeping requirement relating to
movement of food
The Ordinance requires various food traders to maintain records of
the movements of food with reference to their mode of operation.
Do food retailers require to keep records?
Food retailers are also required to keep records of the business from
which they obtain their food, but not information on the ultimate
consumers to whom they sell the food.
Take a typical situation as an example:
For how long should records be kept?
3 months for live aquatic products and food with a shelf-life of
three months or less, e.g. fresh meat
