The inspection team requested the facility to thoroughly clean the production area, food storage, and equip equipment to prevent insects and harmful animals from entering. Then, a written report with photos as evidence was sent to the Department of Health and the Trang Bom District Health Department for monitoring before May 13, 2025.
