HK resumes processing of Saskatchewan poultry import applications

The Center for Food Safety (CFS) of Hong Kong announced Wednesday that applications for import poultry from the province of Saskatchewan, Canada would resume with immediate effect.

According to the center, processing of applications for importing poultry, game birds, and their products from Saskatchewan will take effect at once.

The center suspended processing of applications from Saskatchewan following confirmation of a case involving the highly pathogenic avian influenza H7N3 on a farm in the province last September.
