Scare about malachite green in Hong Kong has been eased Saturday since the government promised to strengthen inspection on freshwater fish.

Permanent Secretary for Health, Welfare & Food Carrie Yau said the government is considering whether it should introduce law amendments stipulating that all fish traders must buy fish from registered fish farms or approved places.

However, Yau said while the proposal could further ensure food safety, residents would have fewer choices when buying fish. She promised that the government will consult the public before making any decision.

She hoped consumer confidence in freshwater fish can be restored after the malachite green scare.
