The Prime Minister has recently issued an instruction requesting the implementation of urgent measures to ensure food hygiene and safety.

Accordingly, the ministries, branches and localities have to intensify propaganda campaigns to raise public awareness of food safety.

Another measure is to improve management, food hygiene and safety inspection and testing systems at the central to local levels. Additionally, they have to follow strict legal regulations on food hygiene and safety when producing fruit, raising and slaughtering animals and poultry.

Strict control of fruits, meat and aquatic products imported via border gates, at markets and in processing areas is also strengthened.

According to the instructions, it is necessary to supervise the processing and use of food in industrial zones, processing zones and at schools, markets, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, or tourism sites.

The inspection and supervision of food hygiene and safety should be strengthened, while, any violation would be strictly punished.

The Prime Minister also requested increases in budget, human resources and equipment to meet the demand for food hygiene and safety control at the central to local levels.
