CHP investigates suspected food poisoning cases
***********************************************

     The Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health is today (May 25) investigating two suspected food poisoning cases affecting eight persons, and hence reminded the public to maintain personal, food and environmental hygiene to prevent food-borne diseases.

     The first cluster involved one male and three females aged from 22 to 59. They developed gastroenteritis symptoms including abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and fever about four to 10 hours after consuming takeaway dinner purchased at a food premises in To Kwa Wan on May 24. Three sought medical attention but did not require hospitalisation.

     The second cluster comprised one male and three females aged from 22 to 60, who developed similar symptoms about six to 19 hours after consuming lunch at the same food premises on the same day. Two sought medical attention and one required hospitalisation.

     All affected persons are now in stable condition. Investigations are proceeding.

     To prevent food-borne diseases, members of the public are reminded to maintain personal, food and environmental hygiene at all times. When dining out:

* Eat thoroughly cooked food;
* Avoid eating raw seafood;
* Buy food from reliable and licensed restaurants and food suppliers only;
* Do not patronise illegal food hawkers;
* Do not try to use salt, vinegar, wine and wasabi to kill bacteria as they are not effective; and
* Always wash hands before eating and after going to the toilet.
