Officials say all 237 children are healthy after consuming Friso batch flagged by Macau authorities
Hong Kong health authorities have confirmed that no child has shown signs of poisoning after drinking a batch of infant formula found to contain excessive levels of lead.
The department said its dedicated hotline and the maternal and child health centres had received 762 relevant inquiries.
Health officers provided advice on switching infant formula and referred 446 babies and young children to public hospitals for assessment and follow-up. Among them, 237 had undergone clinical assessments.
“Results indicated that their overall health is good and that none have shown signs of lead poisoning,” the department said.
The rest were either pending assessment or the parents had decided not to proceed with check-ups, it added.
