Vietnam Gov cracks down on chemicals in seafood

Government Decision No 05/TTg-NN orders food quality and safety administrators, the Ministry of Fisheries and its agencies to closely inspect seafood products and exports of enterprises that have been previously warned about the use of banned chemicals and antibiotics in their products.

They must also ensure the enforcement of regulations on seafood safety and hygiene at fishing ports, warehouses, places of preserving and processing export seafood, and aquaculture farms to ensure quality and food safety in all stages of the process from catching and rearing seafood to processing and exporting it.
