Hong Kong’s Centre for Food Safety food alerts and allergy alerts: products the Centre tells the public not to consume (Listeria, Salmonella, veterinary drug residues, aflatoxins, heavy metals, undeclared allergens, labelling breaches), 2006 onwards, with the importer, the test result against the legal limit, the action taken and the advice to the trade and to consumers.

Tools

• hk_food_alerts_search(query?, alert_type?, year?, date_from?, date_to?, limit?) — searches the alert list, newest first. One calendar year is read per list page: by default the current list, with year an earlier one, or a date_from / date_to window of up to three years. alert_type is food, allergy or all (types are recorded from 2021). The keyword matches alert titles. Each hit: id, date, type, title, link. Zero matches states which years were read.
• hk_food_alert_get(id) — one alert by its id (such as 2026_636): issue date, food product, importer, place of origin, product description, reason, action taken, advice to trade and consumers, related links. An unknown id is found:false.

Every response carries source and data_as_of (the newest alert date scanned).

Data sources

• Centre for Food Safety, Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (Hong Kong), food alerts and allergy alerts. Read live per call, nothing stored.

Covers food products in Hong Kong. Consumer goods safety notices are issued by the Customs and Excise Department and are not covered here.

Privacy: importer company names are returned; phone numbers and e-mail addresses are removed from every text field.

Traps worth knowing: a search reads only the years it reports in searched.years_read; a zero-match search means no alert in those years, not that a food is safe; product names and brands are often “(Not available in English)”.
