It makes no sense if food safety controls are like ‘only grabbing people with hair’

(PLO)- Around Thu Duc New Market, there are 31 illegal business points, Hoc Mon wholesale market 131 points, Binh Dien wholesale market 235 points…

On February 22, at the closing ceremony of the HVNCLC program – Integration standards and a discussion regarding Sharing and orientation on solutions to support businesses (DN), Ms. Pham Khanh Phong Lan, Head of Food Safety Management Board (Food safety) Ho Chi Minh City said: In the past year, the Food Safety Board sanctioned the most was the act of not having a certificate of food safety eligibility, not having completed the self-declaration procedures…

Ms. Lan also said that besides legal workplaces, there are spontaneous businesses, spontaneous markets and sidewalks. Unauthorized business situation exists much.

For example, around the new Thu Duc market, there are 31 illegal business points, 131 points in Hoc Mon wholesale market, 235 illegal business points around Binh Dien wholesale market… This is unfair to the right people. the law.

At the same time, following the epidemic, the authorities are dealing with the “blooming” situation of spontaneous markets

“Therefore, we and the authorities control the situation, otherwise it would be unreasonable to discuss food safety and ask businesses to comply with the style of “holding people with hair, not holding bald people”. But to solve not only day one, day two and when the economy is better, people have more conditions to care regarding food safety,” said Ms. Lan.

According to Ms. Lan, in the state management of food safety, it is oriented to harmonize between fighting dirty food and building clean food, rather than focusing on sanctions.

This can have the opposite effect that people do more wrong to get their fines back. Besides, if they are fined too much, they will close the door, but opening a new establishment will also do bad things.

On the other hand, the state does not always collect fines because of the fact that there are businesses that close and then open another one.
