Stall operators and the public are reminded that the next rest day for poultry outlets falls on February 11.
On the day, operators of market poultry stalls and fresh provision shops must slaughter all live poultry remaining on their premises before noon, and suspend business in the afternoon and evening to carry out thorough cleaning and disinfection.
All poultry retailers must strictly observe the rest day conditions. They must not remove any live poultry from their premises to avoid slaughtering of the unsold live poultry before the start of the rest day.
Food & Environmental Hygiene Department staff will inspect each poultry outlet on the day. Failure to comply with the rest day conditions will lead to immediate cancellation of fresh provision shop licences or termination of market stall tenancies.
