Speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Duong Tat Thang - Director of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) said that he had received the information and had directed an immediate inspection of the operations of CP Joint Stock Company.

On the afternoon of May 30, the leader of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Soc Trang province said that the unit had just decided to establish an interdisciplinary inspection team, deploy a Peak Month to combat smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods and ensure food safety in the area.
The delegation includes: Inspectorate of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Economic Security Department (Provincial Police). The subjects of inspection are individuals and organizations with activities related to the fields of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine.
On the same afternoon, the team inspected the CP F.S store in My Xuyen town (My Xuyen district, Soc Trang).
"During this period, the delegation will conduct inspections of sales points of CP Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company in the province," informed the leader of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine.
In Soc Trang province, there are 4 points of sale for meat products in the above system.
As reported by Lao Dong, on the morning of May 30, a social media account posted an article, saying that it used to work at a meat distribution store in My Xuyen district (Soc Trang province). This person accused the store and some leaders of bringing the meat to the market with poor quality.
According to the reflection, this system is said to regularly "mingle" sick pork and chicken, even showing signs of hives, pus, and foul odors to distribute to stores for sale to consumers. In addition, some expired products are required to have their labels removed to process them into other products such as fried sausages, sausages or department stores for sale on the market at cheap prices.
The poster informed that the above behavior will seriously affect public health and hoped that the authorities would investigate and strictly handle if violations were discovered.
Regarding this information, CP Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company has issued an official announcement, affirming that this is untrue information.
"All content posted by the above accounts shows signs of defamation, intentionally damaging the reputation and operations of the company. The images attached to the articles are of unknown origin, the time and location cannot be determined and are absolutely not product images of the company" - CP. Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company informed.
This unit affirmed that all products strictly comply with veterinary control and quality control processes, ensuring adequate food hygiene and safety standards according to current regulations.
