【明報專訊】ONLINE FOOD SHOPPING has become increasingly common. Several months ago, a type of sandwiches produced in Taiwan entered the Hong Kong market by virtue of online shopping. But it led to a food poisoning outbreak afterwards, which afflicted more than eighty people. The incident well demonstrates the health hazard posed by online food shopping. Recently, the Consumer Council and the Ming Pao investigation team have carried out their own sting operations. These investigations have brought to light the supply chain problems of online food shopping, which have much to do with the grey areas of the existing law.
