COOK FROGS THOROUGHLY TO ENSURE SAFETY
***
THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE REGIONAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT TODAY URGED THE PUBLIC TO COOK FROGS THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONSUMPTION IN ORDER TO ENSURE SAFETY.
A SPOKESMAN SAID THE RSD RECEIVED TWO COMPLAINTS OF SUSPECTED PARASITES IN FROGS LAST MONTH AND SUBSEQUENT TESTS CONFIRMED THE COMPLAINTS.
+SO FAR, THE USD AND THE RSD HAVE COLLECTED 50 SAMPLES FROM SEVERAL MARKETS IN THE URBAN AREAS AND THE NEW TERRITORIES AND PARASITES WERE FOUND IN 23 OF THEM,+ HE SAID.
+THE FINDINGS HAVE BEEN PASSED ON TO THE AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES DEPARTMENT, AND THE USD AND THE RSD WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION.+
THE SPOKESMAN STRESSED THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD NOT BE ALARMED BY THE FINDINGS OF THE TESTS AS IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON TO FIND PARASITES IN FROGS.
+AS LONG AS FROGS ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY, PREFERABLY AT 60 DEGREE CELSIUS, THE PARASITES WILL DIE AND WILL DO NO HARM TO CONSUMERS, HE ADDED.
