On December 12, 2025, Market Management Team No. 2 (QLTT) - Hanoi Market Management Department inspected a food business establishment at 94A An Duong, Hong Ha Ward, Hanoi City.
At the time of inspection, the Inspection Team determined that the establishment had traded goods of unknown origin.
Accordingly, the amount of goods violated included 56kg of various types of dried apricots. According to the price listed at the facility, the total value of the infringing goods was VND 9,250,000.
In response to the above violation, the Inspection Team drew up a record and temporarily detained all the infringing goods for handling according to the provisions of law. The temporary detention is to prevent continued circulation of products of unknown origin to the market, which potentially affects the health of consumers.
According to Market Management Team No. 2, based on the nature and severity of the violation, the authorities plan to administratively sanction the business establishment with a fine of VND 8,000,000.
In recent times, inspection and control of food business activities in Hanoi have been strengthened, especially in densely populated areas. In reality, processed foods, if not strictly controlled in terms of origin, storage conditions and quality, can directly affect the health of users.
The authorities recommend that food businesses and individuals strictly comply with the provisions of the law, only trading in goods with clear origin and full invoices and documents according to regulations. Compliance with these regulations not only helps avoid law violations but also contributes to building a healthy business environment, ensuring food safety.
For consumers, authorities recommend choosing to buy food at reputable establishments with clear information about the origin of the product; at the same time, proactively report to the authorities when detecting signs of food business of unknown origin, contributing to protecting public health.
