However, in the school gate area, checking and controlling street food and street vendors still faces many difficulties.
Faced with that reality, from the beginning of August 2024, Hanoi began organizing inspection teams to inspect school food safety, not only focusing on collective kitchens in schools but also targeting food businesses in areas near schools...
Head of the Hanoi Food Safety and Hygiene Department Dang Thanh Phong said that from August 2024 to the end of August 2025, the whole city will focus on ensuring food safety inside and outside schools. Hanoi will review educational facilities, collective kitchens, and school canteens under its management.
Kitchens in schools are strictly controlled in terms of origin and food processing to ensure safety for teachers and students. Along with that, food services in front of and around the school gates need to be monitored and inspected by local authorities to ensure food safety.
On the other hand, the authorities investigate and check food service establishments, street food establishments, and grocery stores that sell prepackaged foods and ready-to-eat processed foods according to each industry and food item around schools.
The city will focus on inspecting spontaneous stalls and street vendors around school gates because with these stalls, the unclear origin of food will lead to the risk of harming students' health...
In particular, the work of checking, monitoring and tracing the origin of food in and around the school gate will be carried out seriously and regularly; organizations and individuals violating food safety regulations will be strictly handled.
In addition, recently, the city has inspected, monitored, and traced the origin of food at 19 food service establishments in the airport area in the city, of which 12 establishments passed, and rapid testing achieved 190/190 samples.
Currently, there are more than 4,000 school kitchens in Hanoi. Head of the Hanoi Food Safety and Hygiene Department Dang Thanh Phong said that from August 2024 to the end of August 2025, the entire city will focus on ensuring food safety inside and outside schools.
Accordingly, school kitchens are strictly controlled in terms of origin, food processing to ensure safety, and prevention of poisoning for students and teachers. Along with that, food services around schools also need to be strengthened by local authorities to inspect and supervise.
To ensure food safety, the Hanoi Food Safety and Hygiene Department recommends that inspection teams from districts, towns and cities focus on surprise inspections and post-inspections to see how far establishments have corrected violations and shortcomings.
From there, it is possible to promptly detect unsafe food, establishments with violations, and those that have not fully complied with processing procedures... In addition, localities need to continue to strengthen propaganda and guidance for schools, reminding students not to use food of unknown origin provided by strangers.
