"As for bacteriological examination, samples of shellfish and fish continued to show high unsatisfactory rates.
"In this connection, the public are reminded to observe proper food hygiene when having hotpots in winter to minimise the risk of contracting food-borne diseases such as food poisoning and hepatitis A.
"Wholesome raw materials, proper washing and handling, and thorough cooking are the best measures against gastro-intestinal disease," Dr Leung added.
