Food Safety Law in Selected Countries Around the World: Lessons for Vietnam to Enhance the Protection of Human Rights in Current Business Activities
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: In the context of increasingly deep international economic integration, food safety has become one of Vietnam’s top priorities. Ensuring food safety is not only related to public health but also directly affects the reputation and competitiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products in the international market. In order to improve the effectiveness of food safety management and better protect human rights, the amendment and supplementation of the Law on Food Safety (adopted by the 12th National Assembly in 2010 and effective from July 1, 2011) requires learning from the experiences of developed countries, which is both important and urgent. This article focuses on analyzing the experiences of several countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia in managing food safety, particularly in terms of legal frameworks, support policies, institutional structures, and inspection and supervision measures. Based on this analysis, practical lessons are drawn for Vietnam in enhancing the protection of human rights in the field of food safety.
