Hanoi police have prosecuted multiple individuals for the production and trade of counterfeit food products in An Khanh commune.

In September 2026, authorities prosecuted Ta Thi Yen for “producing and trading counterfeit food and foodstuffs.” The case stemmed from a May raid where police seized large quantities of soup powder that used fraudulent packaging to display the “ACECOOK” brand name and slogans such as “cook happiness.”

In October 2026, police prosecuted Nguyen Quang Dat for similar offenses involving confectionery and beverages. Investigations revealed that Dat used self-designed packaging and foreign barcodes to falsely claim products originated from South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia. Authorities seized approximately 19.3 to 19.7 tons of finished goods, valued at over 1.12 billion VND, along with machinery and raw materials used in the illegal operations.
