1. Industrial Meals – The Lifeblood of Factory Operations
In industrial zones like Biên Hòa – Đồng Nai, tens of thousands of workers rely daily on shift meals as their primary source of nutrition. Yet, not all companies have established systematic quality control processes for these meals. The consequence? Increasing incidents related to food safety and hygiene (FSH) that impact workers’ health, morale, and loyalty.
Therefore, standardizing industrial meals according to national standards and nutritional guidelines has become a critical demand in companies’ sustainable development strategies.
2. Nutrition and Food Safety Criteria: The Framework Businesses Must Apply
In 2020, the Institute of Occupational Safety and Hygiene partnered with the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor to issue the “Criteria for Industrial Labor Meals”— Vietnam’s first detailed standard covering:
- Meal energy content (≥1200 Kcal for main shift meals)
- Balanced nutrition structure across three groups: carbohydrates, proteins, and vegetables
- Food safety requirements in storage, preparation, and service
- Sample menus tailored by industry (textiles, footwear, etc.)
- Guidelines for internal supervision and 24-hour food sample retention
However, implementation remains challenging. Many companies assume that simply selecting a contractor guarantees quality. In reality, a 2022 Resource Strategy Institute survey found only 43% of companies regularly inspect menus and kitchen processes. The remaining 57% fully delegate responsibility to providers without internal controls — a risky gamble.
