Among the inspected companies, C.P. Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company faced allegations in mid-2025 of selling diseased pork. On May 30, 2025, a Facebook user named “Jonny Lieu” posted a complaint titled “Report of Food Safety Violations.”
The complainant, Mr. L.Q.N (born 1985, residing in Mỹ Xuyên Town, former Sóc Trăng Province, now Mỹ Xuyên Ward, Cần Thơ City), alleged that “C.P. Vietnam used diseased pork and foul-smelling chicken, distributing it through Freshop in Mỹ Xuyên, Sóc Trăng.”
The Sóc Trăng Provincial Police Investigation Agency concluded no criminal charges would be filed, as the actions did not violate food safety regulations.
