Two Sha Tin cooked food stalls have been ordered to close for thorough cleaning and disinfection, after three suspected food poisoning reports involving 17 people who ate there.

The Food & Environmental Hygiene Department said there are epidemiological grounds to support the temporary closure of cooked food stalls Nos 3 and 5 inside Wo Che Estate Cooked Food Pavilion.

The stalls will remain closed until the Director of Food & Environmental Hygiene is fully satisfied that the immediate health hazards on the premises have been eliminated.
