Vietnam puts fizz into alcohol quality control solutions

It is coordinating with the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) to research and implement the Switzerland-based security inks and solution SICPA project to reduce the illicit trading of beer.

The MoIT and VBA will lodge motions from local beverage enterprises in Vietnam at conference on May 6 in Hanoi before the MoIT collects the motions and submits the proposal again to the government. The first proposal was submitted to the government in December, last year.

The initiative was presented at a VBA conference in southern Binh Duong province recently for introduction of quality control solution of beer and alcohol.

By using SICPA technology, every beer and alcohol product will be coded. The producer’s name will be recognised as well as the production line and production time.

This will help to control and monitor the source, the quality and the hygiene of each produced item preventing illegal beer and alcohol production and distribution. – VIR
