Hanoi to consolidate food safety inspection teams
Translated by Thu Minh 10:27, 2017/01/08
In 2017, Hanoi will continue realising the Prime Minister’s instruction on strengthening the State management responsibility over food safety, consolidating food safety inspection teams at local levels and increasing certification of food safety and food safety facilities.
The Hanoi People’s Committee has instructed the strict control of food origin and production to ensure food safety.
Accordingly, all stages, from production to distribution, will be inspected. Food sellers are required to have means to preserve their products.

The city’s authorities directed the municipal Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to control production input and grant food safety certificates for eligible facilities.
In addition, management of wholesale markets in the city will be tightened while the role of inter-sector inspection teams in ensuring food safety in collective canteens, and street food will be enhanced.
Currently, Hanoi has 7.5 million people, 20 trade centres, 12 super markets, 460 traditional markets and 454 wet markets. Around 800 - 1,000 tonnes of meat, 340 - 400 tonnes of aquatic products, 2,500 tonnes of fruit and vegetable are consumed everyday.
However, local production can only meet 60 percent of food demand and 18 percent of fruit and vegetable demand. The rest is added by goods from other localities and imports.
Many suburban areas have been zoned off for producing safe vegetables for inner-city areas. However, the city remains  shortcomings in management of safe food production, distribution and consumption.
According to the inspection results, pesticide residues have been found in 11 vegetable samples in 110 production facilities across the city.
