Simple hygiene practices in slaughterhouses and markets are helping reduce contamination in Vietnam’s pork supply. Vendors and slaughterhouse owners trained under the CGIAR Sustainable Animal and Aquatic Foods (SAAF) program have adopted measures such as raised stainless-steel grids and improved cleaning routines. These changes have lowered Salmonella contamination and increased consumer trust, showing how small interventions can make a big impact on food safety.
