HCM City (VNA) – The Food Science and Technology Association on May 21 granted the Golden Award for Safe Food to nearly 100 businesses in the food processing industry at a workshop on food safety and business responsibility. The workshop urged businesses to increase the country’s food safety and discussed ways to strengthen cooperation between businesses, scientists and the authorities in aggressively fighting viral outbreaks that could spread disease. Director of the Food Science and Technology Centre, Pham Xuan Ngoc, said: “Everyone thinks the responsibility in food safety belongs to the health care sector. But businesses and scientists should also share the burden.” Another expert said there was a relationship between food safety, environment and weather change and that he country was paying an expensive cost in destroying the environment due to a lack of business awareness. Representatives from businesses agreed at the workshop that they should try to build a better reputation for the food industry as it prepares for further expansion in the world market.-Enditem
