Helium balloons are dangerous in the MTR mostly because they could float up to short the high voltage electric cables. Plus, no one likes to hear a noise of explosion inside an underground train station…

My guess was that it just meant “no food” or “no large food items,” and that it was not meant to prohibit pork per se.
