On 18 July 2025, the Ministry of Health (“MoH”) released the second draft of the Amended Law on Food Safety (“Draft Law”). This draft marks the first major overhaul since the 2010 Law on Food Safety (“2010 Law”) and reflects the Government of Vietnam’s effort to address enforcement gaps, strengthen consumer protection, and align with international practices.
The Draft Law introduces stricter prohibitions, tougher responsibilities for registration holders, clearer procedures, and a new risk-based management system – all of which will have practical implications for food producers, distributors, and importers in Vietnam.
