The Food Safety and Inspection Service under the United States Department of Agriculture officially recognised Viet Nam''s Pangasius Food Safety Control System on October 31 after more than three years of negotiations.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) under the United States Department of Agriculture has proposed continuing Viet Nam’s eligibility to export Siluriformes fish, commonly known as catfish, and fish products to the United States.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) catfish inspection programme is not yet suitable for Viet Nam and more bilateral discussions are needed, the Government said on Thursday.
