Abstract

In order to assess the current realities of food hygiene and safety of the fresh pork during the process of distribution and display for sales in Tuy Hoa city, 3 traditional markets were investigated through interviewing butchers and sample tests. The results showed that the rate of pork samples reaching TCVN 7046:2002 accounted for 64,17%, the rate of unsatisfactory samples for TCVN 7046:2002 accounted for 35,83%. In general, there are still many problems regarding the hygiene at the markets in general, and at the pork-selling places in particular. Much attention should be made to the issue of food hygiene and safety at the form of displaying the pork in such places.
