Abstract

Aims: To identify the conditions of manpower, facility, and equipment to ensure food safety at 80 collective kitchens in the industrial zones of Viet Yen district, Bac Giang province in 2022.

Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted using a checklist including administrative information and 35 criteria. The criteria were assessed as meeting or not meeting standards based on regulations issued together with Circular No. 48/2015/TT-BYT dated December 1, 2015 on food safety inspection activities in food production and trading under the administration of the Ministry of Health.

Results: The rates of collective kitchens meeting the requirements of manpower, facility, and equipment and tools were 87.5, 53.8, and 65.0%, respectively. There were 85% of the kitchens arranged according to the 1-way principle. The rate of collective kitchens meeting general food hygiene and safety standards was 47.5%.

Conclusion: The low rate of collective kitchens (BATT) meeting food safety conditions was found in industrial parks of Viet Yen district, Bac Giang province. It is necessary for the industrial zones to strengthen regular monitoring of the food safety conditions of the kitchens, to have enough separate cooking utensils, and to give training to raise awareness of food safety practices of processors.
