The Economic Police Department and the People's Procuracy of Da Nang City served the decisions on two subjects Nguyen Thanh Truong and Nguyen Ngoc Chau.
According to Da Nang City Police, on September 11, the Economic Police Department successfully dismantled the case, temporarily detained Nguyen Thanh Truong (born 1989), residing in An Bien Ward, Hai Phong City and Nguyen Ngoc Chau (born 1987), residing in Da Nang City to investigate and clarify the act of "Producing and trading in counterfeit food products".
Initial investigation results determined that in 2023 and 2024, Nguyen Thanh Truong went from Hai Phong to Da Nang and established two companies specializing in the production and trading of fake bird's nest jars. To conceal his actions, Truong asked Nguyen Ngoc Chau and Chau's sister to register and act as legal representatives for these companies. However, in reality, all production and business activities were directly managed and operated by Truong.
In early 2024, Nguyen Thanh Truong purchased and equipped machinery and equipment and established a factory to produce bird's nest with headquarters in Dien Ban Dong ward, Da Nang city. During the production process, instead of using real bird's nest ingredients, Truong directed Nguyen Ngoc Chau to research and create fake "bird's nest fibers" that looked exactly like real bird's nest. The entire production process, from mixing ingredients, pouring bird's nest into jars, labeling, packaging... were all directly carried out by these two subjects.
From January 2024 to mid-June 2025, some shipments were still produced by Truong's companies using real bird's nests but in very small quantities. However, from June 24, 2025, Nguyen Thanh Truong recklessly instructed his subordinates to no longer use real bird's nests as raw materials, but all raw materials were fake. After completion, these fake bird's nest products were widely distributed to retail stores in Da Nang, Thanh Hoa, Hai Phong..., thereby deceiving thousands of consumers.
During a search of the production workshop of Vannest Company Limited (located in Dien Duong Residential Area and Market, Dien Ban Dong Ward), the Police seized nearly 38,000 bottles of fake bird's nest drinks.
To combat and dismantle this sophisticated fake "bird's nest jar" production and trading ring, the Economic Police Department has assigned detective teams to monitor and grasp all methods and tricks of operation of the subjects through establishing a special project to fight.
Under the direct and decisive direction of Major General Nguyen Huu Hop, Director of the City Police, on September 11, 2025, the Economic Police Department of the City Police summoned and served the decisions to prosecute and temporarily detain Nguyen Thanh Truong and Nguyen Ngoc Chau for the crime of "Production and trading of counterfeit food products"; at the same time, continued to expand the investigation to clarify the entire network and thoroughly handle related subjects.
Conducting a search of the production workshop of Vannest Company Limited (located in Dien Duong Residential Area and Market, Dien Ban Dong Ward), the Police seized nearly 38,000 bottles of finished bird's nest drinks of 15 different types. The results of the examination of the 15 types of bird's nest above showed that 5 types of bird's nest drinks did not contain Sialic Acid (the main nutritional component of bird's nest), the remaining 10 types had Sialic Acid content of only 1% compared to the normal quality requirements.
The case is currently being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
