The interdisciplinary working group and the three inspection teams are responsible for inspecting food safety at 30 districts and communes from July 10, 2019 to July 10, 2020. 

The inspection is part of a plan to ensure food safety and hygiene, which will last until the end of the year with the theme “Saying no to fake and substandard food and protecting customers’ rights”.

The inspections aim to improve awareness among organizations and individuals of laws regarding the safe production and trade of food.

Under the plan, authorities at different levels will strengthen their management to prevent substandard food and damaging preservatives from circulating on the market.

Inspectors will focus on checking for African swine fever, especially in localities that have slaughterhouses.

To ensure inspections are done properly, the Hanoi People’s Committee asked concerned organisations to complete training for inspectors./.
