According to information from the Hanoi Market Management Department, the unit has just coordinated with relevant functional units to detect and temporarily detain a large quantity of bird's nest products of unknown origin.

People need to choose to buy food with clear origins at licensed businesses that meet food hygiene and safety conditions; each person must truly be a “smart consumer”, avoiding buying smuggled food, of unknown origin and quality, which affects the lives and health of consumers.
In order to stabilize the market as well as protect the legitimate rights of producers, businesses and consumers, in the coming time, the functional forces in Hanoi will continue to be proactive and coordinate well in the fight against smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods, goods violating food safety...
