On February 7, Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee said that the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee had just issued two decisions to sanction administrative violations against two individuals (both residing in Tuyen Quang province) for trading cosmetics and food of unknown origin, with a total fine of 180 million VND.

Specifically, Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan was fined 90 million VND for trading 3,150 cosmetic units of unknown origin, including light-catching powder, contouring powder and base lock spray, with a total value of nearly 496.5 million VND. All of these cosmetics have no declared dossiers, no traceability information, and pose a potential risk to consumer health.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen Van Hien (born in 1990) was fined 90 million VND for trading 9,300 food products of unknown origin, including seasoning powder, tomato sauce and cooking oil, with a total value of more than 271 million VND.
