The document discusses Vietnam's current food safety management system and laws/regulations. It notes that while Vietnam has established a basic legislative framework around food safety, including ordinances on food hygiene, animal health, and plant health, food standards are still lacking and food inspection capabilities are weak. Specifically, there are only around 150 food inspectors for over 446,000 food enterprises. It concludes that Vietnam needs to develop a more comprehensive food law, expand food standards, and strengthen the food safety inspection system by improving human resources, skills, and facilities.
