FSIS updates export requirements for Hong Kong
USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has updated its export requriements for Hong Kong.
On its list of eligible poultry products, FSIS announced Thursday that poultry meat and poultry meat products derived from birds raised, slaughtered, or processed in Dixon County, Neb., on or after Nov. 18, 2015, are now eligible for export.
In May, Hong Kong's Center for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department banned poultry products from Dixon County in light of the outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N2 avian influenza in that area of the state.
Hong Kong imported about 294,000 tons of chilled and frozen poultry meat from the United States last year.
