Hong Kong has tightened controls on eggs imported from Vietnam after a sample was found to contain pesticides above the statutory limit, the Food Safety Centre said. The centre has ordered the affected products to be withdrawn and recalled, with immediate implications for the importer and businesses handling the eggs.
The importer is Fu Kwok Top Development Company Limited, and the affected batch was produced in June 2026. The centre has instructed the company to stop selling the eggs, remove them from sale and arrange a recall. It has also urged the trade to stop using or selling the affected products.
As a precaution, all eggs imported from Vietnam must now be detained when they arrive in Hong Kong. They can be released for sale only after laboratory test results are considered satisfactory, according to the measures reported by the Food Safety Centre.
i-CABLE News reported that the import permit for the farm involved had been suspended immediately. Star Headline named the farm as QL Farms (Tay Ninh) Liability Limited Company, but the supplied reports did not jointly confirm the permit suspension or provide further details about the farm.
The recall, testing requirement and import controls were in place when the reports were published on September 2 and 3. The reports did not give the affected brands, package or batch numbers, distribution points, or the quantity of eggs recovered.
