PARKnSHOP places the highest priority on food safety and quality. All fresh food suppliers must undergo rigorous assessment, enabling us to uphold the highest standards and give customers complete confidence in every purchase. Established in 2000, PARKnSHOP Food Safety Centre reflects our pioneering role in advancing food safety standards in Hong Kong. As the only supermarket in Hong Kong with its own food safety laboratories, we continue to strengthen fresh food safety, enhance supply chain management, and develop world-class food handling practices, traceability systems, audit programmes and testing protocols.

Through these ongoing efforts, PARKnSHOP remains committed to safeguarding public health and ensuring customers can enjoy fresh food with complete peace of mind.

The PARKnSHOP Food Safety Centre operates two food safety laboratories equipped with advanced systems and equipment. PARKnSHOP is the only supermarket in Hong Kong with its own food safety laboratories accredited under the Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (HOKLAS) and recognised as meeting the international ISO/IEC 17025 standard.

The Centre conducts more than 60,000 food safety tests on average each year. The pesticide laboratory operates throughout the night, using advanced gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology and other methods to test PARKnSHOP vegetables imported from Mainland China for pesticide residues. Dedicated equipment is also used to detect heavy metal residues. The microbiology laboratory carries out biological tests relating to food spoilage and food poisoning, enabling close monitoring of the safety of food sold by PARKnSHOP.
