On July 29, 2014, Vietnam's Ministry of Health notified the WTO of two draft national technical regulations.
A draft regulation on food flavoring agents has been proposed for publication in October 2014. Â The final date for comments is September 30, 2014.
A draft regulation on processing aids has a proposed publication date of November 2014. The final date for comments is September 25, 2014.
If adopted, both regulations would enter into force 45 days after publication. Â Vietnam's food additive use regulations are included in the International Food Additive Database, although processing aids and flavorings typically do not fall within the scope of the database.
