Vietnam: Vietnam Suspends Decree 46 In Favor of Food Safety Law Amendment

On April 6, the Government of Vietnam (GVN) issued Resolution 15, extending the suspension of Decree 46, which caused widespread disruption of trade in food and agricultural products due to its abrupt implementation, until the amended Food Safety Law (FSL) takes effect. During the suspension period, Decree 15 on Food Safety, issued in 2018, remains in force. This report supplements GAIN report VM2026-0005 by providing an update on recent developments and outlining the timeline for amending the FSL.
