A woman has been fined $20,000 for selling chilled pork laced with sulphur dioxide. She also received a two-month jail sentence suspended for two years at Sha Tin Magistracy today.
She was arrested after Food & Environmental Hygiene Department officers checked a fresh provision shop in Sun Chui Estate Market, Sha Tin, on September 23.
Sulphur dioxide is a permitted preservative in foods such as preserved fruit and fruit juices, but should not be added to meat.
