That's only natural.

It's been a while since we've heard any news about serious food poisoning incidents. Does this mean the possibility has been effectively prevented, or is something lurking, waiting for the right moment to erupt?

- Any guesswork is just speculation. In reality, the situation is calm due to two factors. First, there's the fierce boycott by consumers against products that don't meet hygiene standards. Even a single violation can result in heavy fines, or even imprisonment, for the production facility due to the significant consequences. When consumers boycott, businesses collapse immediately. On the other hand, there's the resolute efforts of regulatory agencies to prevent the sale of unsafe food.

- How did the preventative measures unfold?

- Previously, authorities often responded only after food poisoning incidents occurred. Now, the Ho Chi Minh City Food Safety Department monitors the situation transparently from the source. Strict traceability and clear control over all stages of production allow for proactive action. One agency responsible is far more effective than several departments overseeing the food supply.

- What if the offending party changes its name or finds loopholes to circumvent the regulations?

- The current regulation states that if the origin of goods cannot be traced, they will not be allowed to participate in the formal distribution chain. Ensuring food safety and hygiene from production and transportation to distribution is a given.
