In the past week, since the controversy surrounding allegations of C.P. Vietnam selling low-quality pork erupted, many consumers have become more cautious when purchasing meat, especially C.P.-branded products.
Many supermarkets and food chains in residential areas and apartment complexes in Ho Chi Minh City have proactively reviewed and temporarily removed C.P. pork from their shelves, awaiting an official conclusion from the authorities.

However, according to Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Industry and Trade, the incident has not had a significant impact on the hog market and pork supply in the area so far. Pork remains an essential commodity, and consumers have a variety of choices beyond the C.P. brand. Slaughtering and distribution businesses are also tightening their quality control processes to ensure the provision of safe food to the market.
According to a livestock industry expert, the incident primarily affects the mixed meat segment, a small part of C.P. Vietnam’s business, accounting for only about 1-2% of the company’s hog production.
Meanwhile, many rice restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City have observed a continuous decline in pork consumption over the past few weeks, forcing some establishments to temporarily discontinue pork dishes to avoid financial losses.
Ms. Huong, owner of a family restaurant in District 3, shared that her restaurant only uses rural pork, not meat from markets or supermarkets. Previously, pork was the most popular dish among customers, but recently it has been selling slowly. “There was a group of five to seven people, but only one ordered pork while the rest chose chicken, fish, or fried eggs. Some even removed the meat from the stuffed bitter melon dish. Three regular customers who used to eat pork belly stew have now switched to chicken,” she said.
Similarly, a restaurant on Nguyen Thien Thuat Street (District 3) has also temporarily discontinued pork dishes after failing to sell them for several days. “Pork belly and quail egg stew and pork belly stew used to be our signature dishes, but now we’re only selling 80-90% of what we used to. We’ve decided to temporarily stop serving these two dishes and offer chicken, fish, and shrimp instead, until the situation stabilizes,” said the managing staff.
