Peking Duck Flies off UK Menu on Oven Fears

[2008-7-23]

Tag: nutrition

British athletes and officials should seize the opportunity of staying in the Olympic Village and other visitors from the UK use their stay in China to gorge on the Peking Duck.

And it's very important that they do so, for back home in the UK the dish could be off restaurants' menu owing to a European Union (EU) ban on the ovens traditionally used to make it, the London-based Daily Mail has reported.

UK officials are busy inspecting restaurants and sealing the ovens because they do not carry a CE (Conformit Europenne) mark to meet the standards on carbon-monoxide emission.

The newspaper said the clampdown comes despite officials conceding that no health problems linked to the ovens made in China have been reported.

Qiao Jie, general secretary of the Beijing-based China Cuisine Association, said Monday that the British move was a misunderstanding of the Chinese art of cooking.
