At the time of the inspection, six individuals were found utilizing tools and machinery to repackage and relabel food products.

A representative from the facility stated, “The company purchases soybean materials and then hires laborers to repackage them into pre-printed plastic bags. These bags are then machine-sealed and labeled as ‘HỔ KA KA – Natural Soybean Flavor,’ with a net content of 18 grams. The manufacturer is listed as Cong Ty TNHH Cong Nghiep Xiyuan Chaoan from Guangdong, China.” The representative further added, “The pre-printed plastic bags with the aforementioned information were purchased from the black market.”

They also seized 14,350 pieces of packaging and labels bearing the “HỔ KA KA – Natural Soybean Flavor” branding, with the same manufacturer and address as mentioned earlier.
