conducted in the field.
However, the province has still faced many challenges in ensuring food safety,

focus on ensuring food safety and security in the new situation.
Specifically, during the month, the province will strengthen communications to
enhance public awareness of food security and safety as well as legal
regulations on food safety, while increasing supervision over food safety and
measures to prevent and handle violations in the field. At the same time,
activities will be strengthened to improve residents’ capacity to prevent and
deal with food poisoning and food-borne diseases, thus minimising poisoning due
to unsafe food consumption.
