Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety (CFS) reported on August 26, 2026, that samples from a batch of prepackaged Junlebao Pure Milk had a colony count exceeding the legal limit under the Milk Regulation. The affected product, packed in 1-litre units with a best-before date of December 6, 2026, was marked and sealed and had not entered the market, the CFS said.

The CFS said it collected the samples at the import level under its routine Food Surveillance Programme. Four samples contained a colony count of 10 or more. The importer is Junlebao (Hong Kong) International Trading Limited.

The CFS said an investigation found the affected batch was still in the importer's warehouse. It said it would temporarily suspend the permission previously granted to the importer to import the product for sale, and that other similar products of the same brand on sale were not affected. A spokesman said a colony count above the legal limit indicates unsatisfactory hygiene conditions but does not mean the product would cause food poisoning. The CFS said it would continue to follow up.
