Last update date: 2020-08-16 14:21There is a serious rodent problem in Sau Mau Ping Market. A few days ago, there were fragments circulating on the Internet. There were multiple pig shells across the corridor, attracting more than 10 mice to walk around the meat. The Federation of Trade Unions today (16th) and the Raw Pork Food Industry Workers Union met with representatives of Link.
Tang Jiabiao of the Federation of Trade Unions requested to improve market hygiene problems and strengthen rodent control work, and urged Link to install closed-circuit televisions in markets to record business violations. If businesses repeat offenders, they can submit the information to the FEHD for prosecution. Kwok Wai Keung, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that Link responded positively and will meet with the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to discuss related issues.

Tang Jiabiao quoted a representative of Link as saying that he has been concerned about the sanitary conditions of the market. It is estimated that the source of the rats comes from the market canal. However, since the problem of rat infestation involves the entire housing estate, the relevant issues may require the cooperation of the food environment, Link and the Housing Department. Deng Jiabiao suggested to Link that merchants should place pig carcasses on the table and further pack them to avoid direct exposure of the pork to the air.
Chen Zhanming, Chairman of the Raw Pork Food Workers Union, pointed out that Shihuan had conducted two anti-rodent publicity campaigns but the results were not effective. He hoped that Link and the Food and Environmental Protection Department would take appropriate actions. Chen Chin-ming also pointed out that the rodent problem should be solved from the source, and the right remedy should not be solved by cleaning the market. He urged the FEHD to strictly enforce hygiene laws to restore the public's confidence in eating pork and market hygiene.
Guo Weiqiang pointed out that Link Express agreed to install closed-circuit televisions in the market, and emphasized that it will conduct a full-site study of the market, especially involving drainage issues. He also suggested that the slaughterhouse can delay the delivery of pigs and shorten the situation that no one takes over the pig's shell.
