People who have bought loose-packed dried puffer fish from a temporary stall in Ngau Tau Kok Road were urged by the Centre for Food Safety today to stop consuming the product as it contained tetrodotoxin.
The finding was made after a patient was suspected to suffer from food poisoning.
The patient bought the affected product on August 16 from a temporary stall at Shop C, G/F, 177-181 Ngau Tau Kok Road, which operated on August 16 and 17.
Eating fish products containing tetrodotoxin might lead to food poisoning or even death, the centre said.
Anyone who has symptoms after consuming the products should seek medical advice as soon as possible, it added.
