Hanoi: tightening food safety inspection
By Anh Kiet 13:43, 2016/04/20
During the Food Safety Action Month taking place in all provinces and cities nationwide since the middle of April, the Hanoi authorities will tighten food safety management and inspection.


 
Deputy Health Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said at the workshop to launch the action month in Hanoi that food safety was one of the major issues of concern for the government and the National Assembly. The annual month aims to promote the production, trading and consumption of safe vegetable and meat products and handle violations relating to the use and trading of banned substances in breeding and farming.

During the month, the city will strengthen supervision and inspection with an aim to find and punish groups and individuals violating food safety regulations. The city has formed six inspection teams to tour all districts to check food hygiene and safety, especially with regard to the cultivation and trading of vegetables and meat products. Activities to enhance consumer confidence in buying and consuming fresh food will be held. The media will be widely used to raise awareness on food safety and the requirements of food certificates.
