The Prime Minister has approved a National Food Safety Strategy for the period, 2011-2020 for which Vietnam has set targets for compliance with food safety regulations, completion of food safety management plans in all central cities and provinces, and reductions in acute food poisoning cases. While there are a variety of legal documents on food safety, there is an ongoing need to strengthen the capacity of the veterinary services on aspects of food safety.
This project is supporting the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), primarily DAH, to facilitate the implementation of the new Food Safety Law through a baseline analysis on existing veterinary legislation, to identify the gaps and to recommend modifications. The project has also aimed to strengthen surveillance for food borne and zoonotic pathogens, through laboratory capacity building activities and market surveys.
