On September 15, the Market Management Department of Quang Tri province said that since mid-August 2024, market management teams in the province have coordinated with other units to increase inspections at markets, stores, and distribution centers.
During this Mid-Autumn Festival market inspection alone, the Quang Tri Province Market Management Department discovered many goods, including food and children's toys, of unknown origin. As a result, it imposed administrative penalties and confiscated goods worth more than VND1.1 billion.

Then, on September 10, Market Management Team No. 1 coordinated with the Economic Police Department of Quang Tri Province Police to discover 340 types of cakes and sausages of unknown origin at the business household D.T.L (Ward 5, Dong Ha City, Quang Tri Province)...
On this occasion, the authorities focused on inspecting moon cakes that are widely sold to serve the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to checking the origin of the ingredients used to produce the cakes, they also carefully checked the quality of the products and food safety. Through inspection, they discovered products that did not meet food safety and hygiene requirements and their origin, so they were recalled and fined.
Mr. Nguyen Truong Thuy - Deputy Director of the Market Management Department of Quang Tri province said that compared to previous years, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival has seen more violations detected and handled in a more complicated manner. Therefore, the Market Management Department is coordinating with units to closely inspect and control.
