Common problem
Businesses that don't receive proper food safety advice may face penalties, contract losses, reputational damage, and even harm to public health. These consequences can stem from minor errors in documentation or production processes.
Legal risks and penalties
• Administrative penalties: Failure to comply with regulations on product disclosure, labeling, testing, etc., may result in fines ranging from 20 million to 100 million VND depending on the severity of the violation.
• Suspension of operations or product recall: Authorities have the right to order the cessation of production or the recall of substandard products.
• Denial of food safety certification: This prevents the business from selling its products to supermarkets, chain stores, or exporting them.
Product quality risks
• Bacterial contamination: Lack of control over raw materials, production environment, personal hygiene, etc., leads to the risk of food poisoning.
• Chemical contamination: The improper use of additives, preservatives, and fertilizers can harm consumers.
• Lack of traceability: When incidents occur, businesses cannot identify the cause and address them promptly.
Business and reputational risks
• Loss of OEM contracts or distribution chains: Major partners require complete and standardized food safety documentation such as HACCP, ISO 22000, and GMP.
• Negative media coverage: A food poisoning incident or food safety violation can cause a business to lose customer trust.
• Difficulty expanding into new markets: Lack of advice leaves businesses unsure how to meet the legal requirements of new markets.
Inter Justice helps businesses qualify for food safety quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively.
Inter Justice Services
Consulting on food safety licensing requirements.
Each type of establishment (production, trading, processing, food service) has different requirements for obtaining a Food Safety Certificate. Inter Justice helps businesses determine the correct scope of licensing , assess the current state of facilities, equipment, and personnel records according to the standards of the Ministry of Health or the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Our lawyers also guide businesses in adjusting necessary criteria such as the layout of processing and storage areas, water systems, waste treatment, etc. , ensuring that all requirements are met before the inspection team arrives.
We provide support for quality certification, product testing, and design of compliant labels.
Food safety documentation includes several parts: application form, facility description, health certificate, food safety knowledge certificate, and product testing results.
Inter Justice assists businesses in preparing all the necessary documents, submitting samples for testing , and ensuring compliance with regulations for each product type. Thorough preparation from the outset helps avoid errors that could lead to rejected applications, saving significant time and costs.

We represent clients in submitting applications, monitoring the review process, and handling feedback if the agency requests additional information.
