As a locality with many famous tourist areas and spots, it attracts a large number of visitors. Therefore, the issue of ensuring security, order, and occupational safety and hygiene is always of special concern to localities and units of Hoa Lu district.
Together with the food safety inspection team of Hoa Lu District Medical Center, we inspected a number of restaurants, accommodation establishments, and homestay services in the district. We found that most of the establishments strictly complied with the State's regulations on food safety. The owners complied with the regulations on food sample storage, food origin, had certificates of food safety and hygiene facilities, contracts, and periodic health check-ups for service staff. In particular, rapid testing of a number of food samples, bowls and chopsticks used at the restaurants showed that all samples met the requirements.
Mr. Nguyen Duc Linh (owner of Duc Linh restaurant), Ninh Thang commune said: With more than 5 years of experience in the food service business, our restaurant always considers food safety and hygiene as a vital issue of the food service business. Therefore, we always comply with food safety and hygiene regulations, the procedures applied to food preparation, ensuring the 10 golden principles in food processing, ensuring the health of consumers. In particular, to prepare to welcome guests on the occasion of the September 2nd holiday, the restaurant has prepared enough staff to serve customers and signed a contract with a food supplier to ensure clear origin, not use additives in the food processing process, and commit to not overcharging customers.
Meanwhile, at the Havana Tam Coc - Ninh Binh homestay in Ninh Hai commune, it specializes in serving guests staying at the homestay. Mr. Vu Van Ho, the homestay owner, said: The facility has been operating for vacation since February 2024 with 8 modern, luxurious, and affordable rooms. Along with traditional room bookings, the family also regularly introduces them on e-commerce sites specializing in room bookings so that visitors from near and far can refer to and choose. To prepare to welcome guests on the occasion of the September 2 holiday, the family has actively cleaned to ensure a clean, airy space, creating an impression for visitors when they come to stay here.
Ms. Belle, a French tourist staying here, said: My friends and I are here. We are very satisfied with the enthusiastic service, fresh air, and clean resort. If I have the chance, I will continue to come back here to relax and introduce Ninh Binh to my friends.
Ms. Dinh Thi Ha, a testing officer at the Department of Preventive Medicine, Hoa Lu District Medical Center, said: Through inspections at the facilities, it was found that most of the facilities complied well with the conditions for ensuring food safety and hygiene. The products had self-declared records on food safety and quality, good facility hygiene conditions, specialized clothing was provided when processing food, and goods were arranged neatly and tidily.
According to statistics, there are currently more than 3,600 commercial and service establishments and more than 500 restaurants and hotels in operation in Hoa Lu district.

During the inspection, the delegations also took quick test samples to check for preservatives and safety.
