In early 2013, the circular 30/2012/TT-BYT regulations on food safety conditions for street stalls/kiosks came into effect. The majority of street stalls/kiosks in Vietnam are small family businesses and have traditionally not been subject to food hygiene standards. As a result, this development might help improve food hygiene standards within street stalls/kiosks. Furthermore, the government has not shown great enthusiasm to develop street stalls/kiosks foodservice due to its desire to maintain the beauty of the city landscape. As a result, in 2013 the area recorded the lowest value growth rate within consumer foodservice.
