Hong Kong will impose new controls on food imports from Japan in response to a contentious plan to begin releasing treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean.
Chief Executive John Lee said Tuesday he had “immediately instructed” officials to initiate import control measures to “protect Hong Kong’s food safety and public health.”
China and other nations have questioned the proposal’s safety, and those concerns had already prompted some Hong Kong restaurants to begin looking for new seafood suppliers.
