specifically, the Hanoi People's Committee has issued Plan No. 302/KH-UBND on the peak of communication on food safety in Hanoi for the period 2024 - 2025.

The Hanoi Food Safety Communication Plan for the 2024-2025 period was issued to create substantial changes in the awareness and actions of subjects including consumers, managers, producers, processors, and food traders.

Head of the Hanoi Food Safety Department Dang Thanh Phong said that from now until the end of the year, food safety management will continue to be strengthened, in which the City will focus on implementing the topic "Strengthening food safety control in and around school gates in Hanoi" for educational institutions.

Hanoi will review and count educational establishments, collective kitchens, and school canteens in the area under its management. At the same time, the authorities will investigate, review, and regularly update 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 school gates.

In addition, the City synchronously, drastically and effectively implements food safety control work in and around school gates with a focus on high-risk food groups, ready-to-eat food and drinks, and establishments providing ready-to-eat meals.

In particular, the work of inspecting, monitoring, and tracing the origin of food in and around school gates is carried out seriously, regularly, and continuously; organizations and individuals violating food safety are strictly handled, and information is widely disseminated on mass media.

According to doctors, using food of unknown origin and unsafe can cause acute symptoms such as: abdominal pain, diarrhea, digestive disorders, food poisoning...

In particular, if eaten for a long time, it will affect the body's metabolism and make it susceptible to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity.

The use of chemicals, pesticides, and growth stimulants that remain in foods will seep into the body, accumulate, and cause cancer.
