Ho Chi Minh City toughens penalties for street food safety violations
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health instructed relevant agencies to severely penalise small food stores and vendors on streets who continue to flout safety and hygiene regulations.
Speaking at a workshop on this issue in Ho Chi Minh City on 13 January, its deputy head, Nguyen Huu Hung, said when a person starts to sell food on the street, they should have the requisite knowledge and equipment to ensure food safety.
