excerpt:
The provincial animal health department has provided more than nine tonnes of sterilizers for animal health workers at districts and communes across the province. Sterilisation will be a focus at poultry smuggling “hot spots” along the border such as Bao Lam, Coc Nam and Tu Mich.
Meanwhile, in Ho Chi Minh City, local authorities have uncovered more than 400 stores involved in the illegal trading of poultry products at 80 markets in 24 districts, particularly in districts 8, 12, Go Vap, Binh Tan, Tan Phu and Binh Chanh.
Local citizens consumed an average of 176 tonnes of frozen poultry products each day, reported the municipal animal health department. Since Jan. 5, food safety and hygiene inspectors have handled 136 cases of violations, seizing more than 1,400 live fowls and 41,000 eggs, said the department.
