Assessment of the current status of safe seafood compliance with government regulations within seafood distribution chain

kets through different distribution chains. Working in unhygienic environments and the poor hygiene practice of distributors may promote contamination. The authorities and domestic fish businesses should pay more attention to practical actions to solve these problems. To assist in this regard, strategies for improving food safety in the DSDCs in Vietnam and other settings have been recommended. Improving food safety in the DSDCs is a necessary and urgent matter for Vietnamese government agencies to consider. Acknowledgements This research project was financially supported by the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Our special thanks are due to the various seafood establishments and personnel, industry organisations, and government agencies for contributing to this project.

Bản liệt kê này được xây dựng dựa trên các quy định của chính phủ Viêt Nam về vệ sinh an toàn thực phẩm thủy sản. Các thao tác liên quan đến vệ sinh thực phẩm trong quá trình làm việc của 135 người phân phối cá được theo dõi thông qua phương pháp phân tích và ghi nhận. Phương pháp này ghi lại các hành động liên quan đến sự gây ô nhiểm như rửa tay, thay găng tay, rửa và làm vệ sinh dụng cụ và thiết bị. Kết quả nghiên cứu chỉ ra là tất cả các điểm đầu mối trong chuỗi cung ứng là không chấp hành đúng hoặc hoàn toàn không chấp hành các quy định của chính phủ. Các hành động của người phân phối cũng được đánh giá là có nguy cơ cao về lây nhiễm đến nguyên liệu. Nghiên cứu này cũng đưa các khuyến cáo để chính phủ và chuỗi cung ứng cần thực hiện để cải thiện tình hình và nâng cao tính an toàn cho nguyên liệu thủy sản trong chuỗi.
