Hong Kong's food hygiene authorities are implementing a new dog licence scheme for restaurants. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) is training officers and preparing for the launch.
Hong Kong’s food hygiene authorities are training 90 officers to assist and inspect restaurants applying for a new dog licence, while a cafe owner expects the framework to reduce legal grey areas when it goes into effect.
Applications for the licence will open on Monday, with the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) expecting the scheme to launch in July with a maximum quota of 1,000 restaurants in the first phase.
Senior Superintendent of Legislative Review Yip Kwok-cheung said the department had held the first training session for its team of 90 staff members.
“For all 1,000 restaurants, officers will go down directly to explain the laws and licensing conditions,” he said.
“During the first month, the team will conduct inspections and follow up on daily operations and difficulties the restaurants face.”
Yip added that the officers would be trained on what practices to inspect and how to interpret the law during enforcement, especially regarding licensing conditions.
