| Abstract | Behind the appealing taste and appearance of sushi, a potential health treat has been identified. A recent survey endorsed by the Health Department has revealed that more than 405 sushi samples and 20 percent of the sashimi samples did not meet the acceptable minimal bacteria levels. At present stage, special guidelines are given to Japanese restaurants and sushi shops by Urban Services Department. However, no punishment is imposed, even if the shop owners ignore the guidelines. To deal with the problem, all current sashimi and sushi shops will have to apply for a special license before February 1997. |
