(Baonghean.vn) - Currently in Vinh City, fresh food is being sold by people along the streets, not only spoiling the urban beauty, but also not ensuring food hygiene and safety, affecting people's health.

| Nowadays, dirty food is rampant, causing many people to form the habit and mentality of buying products from their hometowns; anything produced or brought from their hometowns to be sold in small retail stores is automatically considered "clean goods". Photo: Phuong Thuy |
 |
| Grasping consumer demand, many people are now bringing fresh food from the countryside to Vinh city to sell. A simple “country food” stall is sometimes just a tarp, plastic… with a few kilos of pork, veal, buffalo, and beef spread out on a corner of the sidewalk. Photo: Phuong Thuy |

| Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan in Hung Dung Ward - Vinh City shared: "I often buy pork from an acquaintance who brings it down from Ky Son to sell. Hearing the advertisement that the pork is clean, I really trust it. Many days I have to ask for it to be available." Photo: Phuong Thuy |
 |
| Most people are only familiar with the convenience of buying food and recognizing food through their senses, as well as the trust of the seller, without paying attention to food hygiene and safety issues. These pieces of meat do not have veterinary certification. Photo: Phuong Thuy |
 |
| This "meat on the street" movement also causes difficulties for fresh food businesses of small traders in traditional markets. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a small trader at Hung Dung market, said: "The number of street meat stalls is increasing, causing the number of customers in the market to decrease significantly. For each kilogram of pork sold, we only earn 15,000 - 20,000 VND while having to pay many types of taxes and fees. This is really unfair competition." Photo: Phuong Thuy |

In the morning, on streets such as Le Viet Thuat, Pham Hong Thai, Nguyen Sy Sach, Ngo Duc Ke... (Vinh city), it is easy to see many places selling livestock meat on the sidewalks and roadsides. Photo: Phuong Thuy |
