Vietnam Strives to Ensure Food Safety and Quality
The launch of the system marks a new step in Vietnam’s efforts to ensure food safety and quality,
protect public health, enhance labour productivity, and promote economic growth, especially given the
context that there are still many food products circulating in the market that do not meet quality
standards, nor adhere to ingredients or technological processes registered with management agencies.
Regarding food safety management, Vietnam currently has the food safety law and Decree No.
15/2018/ND-CP that elaborates on some articles of the law. Accordingly, the Ministry of Health
manages six product categories, while the ministries of Industry and Trade, and Agriculture and Rural
Development oversee eight and 19 categories, respectively.
However, according to Cao Van Trung, the deputy head of the VFA’s food poisoning and information
monitoring office, food poisoning incidents still occur across industrial zones, hospitals, and schools;
and low-quality food products circulate in the market.
He attributed the situation to the fact that most food production and processing facilities in Vietnam
are small-scale and follow seasonal production. Among the country’s 500,000 food processing
establishments, 85% are small- and medium-sized and family-run with limited equipment and
workshops. Additionally, the starting point for food safety management in Vietnam is much lower than
many countries in the world and the region, with a low number of inspection personnel when
compared to other Asian countries. For example, the number of food safety inspectors stood at over
5,000 in Beijing, China, more than 12,000 in Japan, and about 1,000 in Vietnam.
According to experts, Vietnam needs to continue improving its legal framework related to food
safety, promote and expand safe food production areas, and strengthen inspection and supervision
work. It is also necessary to promote international cooperation, attract foreign investment, and seek
financial and technical support for food safety work. Better personnel capacity and legal institutions to
suit the actual situation and international practices are equally important, they noted.
