HCM City sets up groups to inspect food safetyThe Food Safety Management Board of Ho Chi Minh City has established 12 groups to inspect food safety during the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival 2018 across the city. The inspection teams will step up examinations at large-scale food supply facilities, markets, trade centres and food service businesses, she said, adding that any violations of food safety will be strictly handled. The move aims to stop infringements of food safety and promote public health care and protection, Lan said. According to Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute’s recent report, the number of unsafe food cases detected in 2017 was higher than in previous years. The number of inspections carried out was higher than in 2016, but they all show that food safety had been improved considerably.
