(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Regarding the case of a couple in Cam Le district, Da Nang city, producing nearly 1 ton of various types of sausages containing borax, authorities conducted an inspection in March and found no violations.
Regarding the case where Da Nang City Police recently discovered a production facility with nearly 1 ton of various types of sausages containing borax, the Cam Le District People's Committee stated that prior to the violation, Mr. Pham Xuan Ty's household had attended food safety training courses organized annually by the Hoa An Ward People's Committee.

The People's Committee of Cam Le District established an inter-agency inspection team, led by the District Economic Department, to conduct periodic inspections of food safety conditions at Mr. Pham Xu Ty's establishment. As of March, no violations had been detected.
The People's Committee of Cam Le District stated that, based on the discovery of violations, the District People's Committee directed the District Finance and Planning Department to issue a notice revoking the business registration certificate of Pham Xu Ty's household business in accordance with the law on business registration.
This establishment was granted a business registration certificate by the District Finance and Planning Department on April 22, 2021, and operates at 41 Nhon Hoa 12, Hoa An Ward (Cam Le District).
The People's Committee of Cam Le District further stated that, during the period leading up to the Lunar New Year, the unit will pay attention to and continue to direct the focused implementation of food safety measures in the area, contributing to ensuring food safety.
As Dan Tri newspaper reported, between December 20th and 27th, the Economic Police Department of Da Nang City Police conducted surprise inspections of four sausage production facilities, including Mr. Ty's facility. There, the police discovered nearly 1 ton of various types of sausage.
Upon quick testing, the police discovered that all of the food items tested positive for borax (sodium borate). Tests on 9 samples of sausage also revealed the presence of borax.
The investigating police agency has initiated criminal proceedings against Pham Xu Ty (40 years old) and imposed a travel ban on Vo Thi Tuyet (33 years old) to investigate violations of food safety regulations.
According to scientific studies, borax is highly toxic to the human body and is not included in the list of permitted additives for use in food processing.
