Authorities in Hanoi began investigating reports of unusual pork quality at Phuong Liet Kindergarten after the school’s food safety monitoring team discovered meat that appeared pale, soft, and lacked elasticity. The supplier, Ngoi Sao Xanh Company, claimed the meat exhibited PSE (Pale, Soft, Exudative) characteristics due to pig stress prior to slaughter, asserting their processes met food safety standards. Following the incident, the Phuong Liet Ward People's Committee met with school representatives and parents, resulting in the termination of the contract with Ngoi Sao Xanh Food Joint Stock Company. A new supplier was secured on November 6 to ensure uninterrupted meals. Samples of the meat were sealed and sent to the National Institute for Food Safety and Hygiene for specialized testing. The Hanoi Department of Education and Training has since directed local authorities to increase inspections and oversight of food preparation processes. While the supplier maintains the texture was a result of pig stress, food experts have challenged this explanation, suggesting the meat may be spoiled.
