Hanoi to prevent food poisoning during the Tet holiday
Hanoi People`s Committee will uniformly implement all necessary measures to curb unhygienic food and food of unknown origins and prevent food poisoning during the Tet holiday and festivals.
Hanoi People's Committee issued a plan to ensure food safety during the New Year 2016, the Tet holiday and festivals.
Under the plan, from December 20, 2015 to March 25, 2016, Hanoi will deploy synchronous solutions including the strengthening the communication and dissemination plans to ensure implementation of food safety, prevent food poisoning and protect the interests and health of consumers.
Hanoi authorities will strictly inspect large food processing plants, wholesale markets, supermarkets and shopping malls, besides small street vendors to prevent food poisoning.
The inspections will focus on facilities producing, processing and trading products that are mainly used during the Tet holiday and festivals, such as meat and meat products, beverages, alcoholic drinks and confectionary.
The municipal People's Committee will set up six teams to inspect food safety and hygiene at large production plants and service facilities, whereas districts will organise inspection teams to check small facilities.
Besides, the municipal Industry and Trade Department said it would cooperate with people's committees at grassroots levels to organise training courses in localities for local food safety officials and raise awareness of the community about food safety and hygiene.
The city's Industry and Trade Department will also co-operate with the Agricultural and Rural Development Department to set up a pilot project to manage facilities that produce hygienic vegetables and meat in Hanoi, in order to protect consumer rights and community health.
