Upon inspection, authorities determined that the owner of the food cart selling bread could not present a business registration certificate or a food safety certificate.

The ingredients used to make the cakes are purchased by the owner from the market without contracts or invoices. Some ingredients, such as pâté, butter, meat, pickles, and sauces, are prepared by the owner at home.

Authorities ordered the facility to temporarily cease operations and simultaneously collected food and patient samples to send to the Pasteur Institute in Nha Trang for testing.

The Lam Dong Provincial Department of Health has requested relevant agencies to investigate and clarify the incident.
