In addition, the Center for Health Protection is also investigating another food poisoning case. The restaurant involved is "Fu Xuan" in Siu Sai Wan.

Taikoo Place's "The butchers club grille" is involved in the problem of oysters
The Center for Food Safety announced that it received notification from the Center for Health Protection of three food poisoning cases. The patients had eaten raw oysters in three restaurants, including "The butchers club grille" in Taikoo Place, Quarry Bay, and "The Butchers Club Grille" in the Gateway Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui. Three on Canton" and "Cafe Marco" in Harbor City, the investigation is still ongoing.
The Center for Food Safety stated that it has sent personnel to investigate the above restaurants and found that all oysters from Earl Huitres Geay FR 17.452.121 CE in France had been sold.
Therefore, for the sake of prudence, the CFS has immediately instructed the industry to suspend the import and sale of all French-related raw oysters in Hong Kong, and requested the relevant suppliers and restaurants to immediately stop supplying them.
The Center for Food Safety explained that since oysters eat a large amount of seawater through filtration, if the water quality in the area where oysters are raised or harvested contains pathogens, they will accumulate in the oysters.
The CFS emphasizes that undercooked oysters are a high-risk food. Pregnant women, young children, the elderly, people with weakened immunity and patients with liver disease are more susceptible to infection and should avoid eating oysters.
12 people vomited and diarrhea after lunch
In addition, the Center for Health Protection also announced on the same day that it is investigating a suspected case of food poisoning involving 12 people.
The patients were eight men and four women, aged between 20 and 60 years old.

Three of the affected persons have sought medical treatment and did not need to be hospitalized. All patients are in stable condition.
