Ho Chi Minh City: Implementing food safety work for Lunar New Year 2025
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety has just issued a plan to implement food safety measures during the Lunar New Year and the 2025 Spring Festival season.
The plan aims to ensure food safety in the production, processing, trading and use of food, while strictly controlling the production and consumption of fake and poor quality food. This work aims to prevent food poisoning and protect public health during the upcoming Tet and Spring festivals.
The food safety plan will be implemented from December 20, 2024 to March 25, 2025 throughout Ho Chi Minh City. During this time, authorities will strengthen food safety inspection and supervision at all levels, from the city to districts, wards, communes and towns.
One of the important goals is to control food safety in product groups consumed in large quantities during the Lunar New Year and festival season, such as meat and meat products, beer, wine, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, cakes, jams, candies, vegetables, tubers, fruits and food additives. Food service establishments will also be closely monitored to detect and immediately stop food safety violations.
In particular, authorities will focus on inspecting food processing villages and products with high food safety risks during the Tet holiday, including preventing food poisoning caused by methanol and mass food poisoning cases.
The inspection work will also include food safety control before, during and after Tet, to ensure food consumed in the market is safe and of good quality.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety calls on press agencies in the city to actively participate in communication and propaganda work on food safety, in order to raise awareness among people, producers and traders about food safety regulations and requirements during Tet and festival seasons.

Thanh Hoa : Fined and suspended the operation of 2 unlicensed medical facilities
The Thanh Hoa Department of Health Inspectorate has just issued a decision to impose administrative penalties on two medical facilities operating illegally in the province. The total fine is up to 90 million VND, and the operation of both facilities is suspended for 18 months.
Specifically, the Incheon Healthcare facility owned by Mr. Tong Van Hung (born in 1972, address at 20/318/99, La Thanh Street, O Cho Dua Ward, Dong Da District, Hanoi ) was fined 45 million VND.
This facility operates at 15 Nguyen Can, Dien Bien Ward, Thanh Hoa City and provides medical examination and treatment services without a license to operate as prescribed.
Similarly, EMC Health Care, owned by Ms. Le Thi Nga Dung (born in 1986, Can Huu Commune, Quoc Oai District, Hanoi), was fined 45 million VND for also operating medical examination and treatment without a business license. This facility is located at 04, Bui Khac Nhat, Dong Huong Ward, Thanh Hoa City.
Both establishments were suspended from operations for 18 months from the date of issuance of the penalty decision.
Previously, the Thanh Hoa Department of Health coordinated with the provincial police to conduct a surprise inspection of these two facilities. At the time of the inspection, the authorities discovered that the facilities were providing medical examination and treatment services to customers without a legal operating license.
In addition, these facilities also use medical equipment for treatment, while the staff here cannot provide appropriate professional qualifications. This seriously violates regulations on medical examination and treatment activities and public health protection.
Thanh Hoa Department of Health said that in recent times, the unit has strengthened inspection, examination and handling of violations in the medical field.
From January 2024 to now, 53 violations have been handled, with a total fine of nearly 700 million VND. These violations are related to medical facilities, especially in the field of dental examination and treatment.
In addition, Thanh Hoa Department of Health also publicly discloses information about violations on the website, Fanpage and Zalo groups, to raise awareness among people and the community in choosing reputable medical examination and treatment facilities and complying with legal regulations.
Recommendation from Thanh Hoa Department of Health: People need to carefully check information about medical facilities before using medical examination and treatment services, especially facilities without legal operating licenses, to avoid health and benefit risks.
