Hong Kong Suspends Danish Poultry Imports Over Bird Flu

Hong Kong has suspended poultry imports from Denmark's Lolland Municipality due to bird flu.

The ban covers poultry meat, eggs, and related products with immediate effect.

Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety made the decision on Tuesday.

The agency acted after warnings from the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.

The World Organization for Animal Health also reported highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza.

The suspension affects agricultural trade between Denmark and Hong Kong.

Importers and trade businesses must halt poultry shipments from Lolland.

The food safety authority in Hong Kong will closely monitor the situation.
