Implementation Content
The communication work will focus on strengthening education and awareness to improve practices among food producers, traders, and consumers during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Media outlets will provide wide coverage of production and business facilities that comply with food safety regulations, as well as those that violate legal requirements.
Inspection and post-inspection activities will be carried out by city departments and agencies according to their assigned functions and management responsibilities.
These agencies will organize specialized or intersectoral inspection teams to examine production, processing, trading, and importing facilities of popular Mid-Autumn food items. This includes raw materials, additives used in mooncake production, mooncake fillings, and packaging that comes into direct contact with the products.
The People's Committees of communes and wards will, based on local conditions, develop their own plans to ensure food safety during the 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival.
They will organize specialized or intersectoral inspection teams to monitor compliance at food production, business, and processing facilities under their management. They will also trace the origin of unsafe food products and require food businesses to sign commitments on food safety responsibility in line with regulations.
The Hanoi People's Committee assigns the Department of Health as the standing agency of the City Steering Committee for Food Safety. The department will develop and implement plans to ensure food safety during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2025.
The department will also conduct inspections and post-inspections of compliance with food safety laws at production, processing, and business facilities under decentralized management, while coordinating with other departments, agencies, and local People's Committees in these efforts.
The Hanoi People's Committee requires inspections and post-inspections to be focused and targeted, with particular attention to violations concerning quality and hygiene conditions in food production, business, and advertising, especially at mooncake production and trading facilities.
The city will strengthen communication campaigns with the participation of all departments, agencies, and organizations.
The plan also emphasizes the prevention of food poisoning and foodborne diseases during the peak Mid-Autumn Festival period.
