Recently, the OFOOD cooking oil brand of Nhat Minh Food Production and Import-Export Company Limited was discovered to be selling tens of thousands of tons of it to the market under the name of cooking oil for humans. However, this is actually vegetable oil used to produce animal feed, which does not meet food safety standards.
Nhat Minh Food Production and Import Export Company Limited was established in November 2018, headquartered in Dong Anh district, Hanoi .
The original registered main business line was wholesale of beverages, specifically wholesale of spirits, wine, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, natural mineral water, and bottled purified water.
At the time of establishment, the company had a charter capital of 1.8 billion VND with 3 shareholders contributing capital, including Dang Thi Phuong contributing 900 million VND, equivalent to 50% of the capital, 2 shareholders Nguyen Ha Dong and Ngo Thi Binh each contributing 450 million VND, equivalent to 25% of the capital. Ms. Dang Thi Phuong, born in 1987, holds the position of Director and legal representative.
By July 2021, the capital contribution structure of shareholders had changed. Accordingly, Ms. Ngo Thi Phuong contributed 1.08 billion VND, equivalent to 60% of the capital contribution, shareholder Nguyen Ha Dong contributed 720 million VND, equivalent to 40% of the capital contribution.

Tax declaration information at this time shows that the business has 5 employees.
By November 2022, the company changed its main business line to producing animal oil, fat, and vegetable oil and margarine. In May 2023, the company increased its charter capital to VND8.8 billion but did not disclose the capital contributors, and the capital contribution structure of the shareholders was not disclosed in detail.
In addition to her leadership position at Nhat Minh Food Production and Import-Export Company Limited, Ms. Ngo Thi Phuong also holds a leadership position at Vina Win Production and Import-Export Company Limited. The enterprise was established in August 2023 and is headquartered in Van Lam district, Hung Yen .
At the time of establishment, this company had a charter capital of 9 billion VND with 3 shareholders contributing capital, including Chu Thi Thanh Huyen contributing 2.25 billion VND, equivalent to 25% of the capital contribution, Tran Thi Thanh Vinh contributing 4.5 billion VND, equivalent to 50% of the capital contribution and Dao Thi Thu Huyen contributing 2.25 billion VND, equivalent to 25% of the capital contribution.
At the time of establishment, Ms. Dao Thi Thu Huyen, born in 1984, held the position of director and legal representative.
By November 2024, the list of shareholders of the enterprise has changed. Accordingly, Ms. Dang Thi Phuong contributed 3.06 billion VND, equivalent to 34% of the contributed capital; shareholders Le Van Phuong and Pham Duy Noi each contributed 2.97 billion VND, equivalent to 33% of the contributed capital. Ms. Dang Thi Phuong was appointed to the position of Director and legal representative of the enterprise.
In addition to Nhat Minh Food Production and Import-Export Company Limited, this counterfeit goods production line also includes An Hung Phuoc Import-Export Trading Company Limited - one of the leading large enterprises in the country importing vegetable oil.
It is known that this enterprise has a charter capital of 4.8 billion VND with 2 shareholders including Do Thanh Liem and Do Thi Ngoc Mai, each contributing 2.4 billion VND, equivalent to a capital contribution ratio of 50%. Mr. Do Thanh Liem, born in 1976, holds the position of director and legal representative of the enterprise.
Recently, the company has changed its business registration information and charter capital many times. In June 2024, the company increased its charter capital from 20 billion VND to 50 billion VND. At this time, Ms. Do Thi Kim An, born in 1973, held the position of director and legal representative.
On June 20, Ms. Do Thi Ngoc Mai replaced Ms. Do Thi Kim An as director and legal representative. Ms. Mai was also announced as the owner of this business.
According to VTV News on the evening of June 24, Hung Yen Provincial Police have dismantled a particularly large-scale ring, with tens of thousands of tons of counterfeit goods sold.
Initial investigation results determined that this group imported raw oil for livestock and aquatic products - which did not meet standards for human food - and then used sophisticated tricks to "transform" it into cooking oil for consumption.
They designed an underground pipeline system to pump livestock oil into tanks labeled cooking oil, then bottled and labeled the Ofood brand - a product of Nhat Minh Food Production and Import-Export Company Limited.
From there, this amount of fake oil was widely distributed to the market, mainly consumed in industrial kitchens, restaurants, and craft villages producing confectionery, chips, and snacks.
In addition to Nhat Minh Food, this line also has the participation of An Hung Phuoc Import Export Trading Company Limited - one of the largest vegetable oil importers in the country. In the past three years, the total revenue of the system related to this line is estimated at more than 8,200 billion VND.
The investigation agency seized more than 1,000 tons of smuggled oil and prosecuted three leading suspects for the crimes of manufacturing, trading in counterfeit goods and smuggling.
