Vietnam officially launches food safety management system
The Ministry of Health’s Vietnam Food Administration (VFA) and the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety have announced the official operation of a comprehensive food safety management system in Vietnam on March 7.
The announcement was the outcome of an ODA project between the two governments, which was approved by the Vietnamese Prime Minister in 2020. As the aim of the project, the system manages centralised data, updates in real-time, and categorises and discloses information, facilitating easy access for citizens to trace the origin and safety of products across Vietnam.
