Launching the Action Month for Food Safety in 2025, comrade Le Thi Hoai Chung - Director of Nghe An Department of Health, Standing Member of the Provincial Food Safety Steering Committee emphasized: Food safety work still faces many difficulties and challenges. The situation of food of unknown origin and not guaranteed quality is still complicated. Management of small establishments and street food is still limited. Food poisoning, especially in collective kitchens, still occurs.

Food Safety Action Month 2025 takes place from April 15 to May 15, 2025, with the theme "Ensuring food safety, focusing on food safety in collective kitchens, catering services, and street food".

This year's theme focuses on "hotspots" that often pose potential food safety risks, directly affecting public health, especially students, workers and consumers who consume ready-to-eat food outside the home.
