Hanoi focuses on many solutions to manage food safety

In particular, the City assigned the Hanoi Department of Health to be the standing agency of the City's Food Safety Steering Committee and required it to carry out food safety activities in the field of health sector management according to assignment and decentralization.

The City's interdisciplinary food safety inspection team No. 1 inspected Thanh Huong Food Processing Company Limited - a ham production and processing facility (No. 50 An Duong, Tay Ho District).

The plan sets out seven main tasks and solutions, including: strengthening the direction and capacity of State management on food safety; promoting information, education and communication on food safety; inspection, testing, post-inspection, and supervision of food safety quality.

The health sector develops programs, plans, projects, pilot models, and topics on food safety; controls and handles incidents and risks that cause food safety loss; ensures funding, human resources, and facilities for food safety work; and carries out administrative procedures on food safety.

As the standing agency of the City's Food Safety Steering Committee, the Department of Health is responsible for developing documents and plans for food safety activities by year and key months, organizing interdisciplinary inspection teams, and conducting specialized inspections and examinations on food safety according to plan and on an ad hoc basis.

In parallel with the implementation of specialized food safety activities in the field of health sector management according to the assignment and decentralization, the Department of Health presides over and coordinates with departments, branches, People's Committees of districts, towns to maintain, develop, build and deploy programs, projects and plans on food safety in the field of management.

In particular, the industry focuses on tracing the origin of collective kitchens and canteens at vocational high schools, colleges, universities and academies; strengthening food safety control for food service establishments and street food around school gates across the city.

The Department of Health, directly the Hanoi Food Safety and Hygiene Department, signed a contract and coordinated with press agencies and associations in the City's Food Safety Steering Committee to carry out information, propaganda, and dissemination of knowledge about policies, regulations on food safety, and report on the current food safety situation in the area.
