HCM City to use high-tech method to trace pork originsVietNamNet Bridge – HCM City plans to launch a pilot programme on using technology to control and trace the origin of pork in an effort to ensure consumer health and benefits. The city will launch a pilot programme on using technology to control and trace the origin of pork. It is part of the city’s pilot project on creating safe food markets in the 2016-20 period implemented by the DoIT, with technologies used to trace pork origin developed by the HCM City High Technology Association. A worker on animal health takes pork samples for tests of food safety and hygiene in HCM City’s Binh Chanh District. Under the programme, pigs at breeding farms will wear two leg rings with an electronic stamp, which will record information about feed and vaccinations and other data.
