With the approval of the Ministry of Health, the Food Control Conference 2022 was successfully organized by the National Institute for Food Control in collaboration with the Vietnam Food Administration. The conference was an important event gathering and widely sharing of Vietnam’s and the world’s research results, experiences and practical applications in food testing. The conference took place in two days, on October 20 - 21, 2022.
Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen attended and delivered his opening remarks at the conference. The Deputy Minister emphasized: "In recent years, Vietnam's food testing system at central level has been invested in technical infrastructure, synchronously advanced equipment and given priority to training for staff specializing in food testing. The Ministry of Health and related ministries have step-by-step been improving the food testing system’s capacity at the local level, gradually reducing the distance, creating relative synchronization between regions. The Deputy Minister suggested: "The testing is mainly carried out at the central level while it’s limited at the local level for not meeting the modern testing needs yet. The science technology development and the understanding of the local situation are announced at the conference to strengthen capacity, make solutions so that the local level can share the burden with the the central level; focusing on dealling with the inadequacies and limitations, especially the gap between the central and local levels.
