They are charged with “Violations of Food Safety Regulations” under Article 317 of the Penal Code.

On September 13, authorities conducted a surprise administrative inspection of the facility and found a total of 379 pigs in 12 pens, weighing approximately 18.4 tons, along with two cold storage units preserving over 2 tons of animal products.
After testing and expert evaluation, authorities confirmed that 7 out of 12 blood samples from the penned pigs and all meat samples from the cold storage tested positive for African swine fever.

During the investigation, the Economic Security Department revealed that from July 2025 until their discovery, despite knowing their pig herd was infected with African swine fever, the farm owners continued to slaughter, store the meat in cold storage, and sell it to various distributors for processing into food products for public consumption.
The Investigative Police Agency of the Hung Yen Provincial Police is currently consolidating the case file and expanding the investigation.
