Hanoi will conduct checks on the food safety and hygiene of all enterprises and restaurants in the capital city starting July 10, according to the municipal People’s Committee.

This year, the healthcare sector aims to reduce death rates caused by diseases and epidemics to increase life expectancy.

The HCM City Food Safety Management Board has set up 12 inspection teams to ensure food safety and hygiene during the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday.

The health ministry has asked Hanoi and HCM City to expand specialised inspection on food safety to 100 percent of its districts and communes after successful trial implementation of this model.

Six teams have been set up to inspect food safety during the Mid-Autumn festival in 12 cities and provinces, according to the Vietnam Food Administration (VFA).
