The test results showed that the red date sample contained sulphur dioxide at a level of 1,400 parts per million, exceeding the Hong Kong’s legal limit of 1,000 ppm under the Preservatives in Food Regulation (Cap. 132BD), and the functional class and name of the additive were also not declared on the food label.
