At the time of inspection, the facility was trading the following products: 1.4 tons of special Gia Quy sausage; 1.1 tons of Gia Quy sausage type 1 and 700kg of unpackaged Gia Quy sausage type 1.

All of these sausages are produced at the facility, using pork thighs and pork fat with accompanying value-added invoices.

Pig skins purchased from many sources, stored in barrels emitting a foul smell

Notably, authorities discovered 4.9 tons of pig skin contained in 98 green plastic drums that were emitting a foul odor and had changed color.
