The Department of Livestock and Veterinary Medicine stated that the image of diseased pork stamped with a square slaughter control mark «K.S.G.M» (indicating market approval) is incorrect.
This statement was made during a regular monthly press briefing held on the morning of June 3.
A question was raised: According to information from a slaughterhouse in Hau Giang, the image was confirmed to be authentic, showing diseased pork with skin lesions that was supposed to be destroyed. However, the pork in the photo bears the «K.S.G.M» stamp. Does this stamp comply with regulations?
In response, it was confirmed that the image of slaughtered diseased pork stamped with such a mark is inaccurate.
It was further clarified that, according to the protocol submitted by C.P in Hau Giang, pigs with skin inflammation that underwent heat treatment for reuse should bear a circular stamp («Processing V.S.T.Y»).
Based on image records, diseased pigs meant for destruction must be stamped with a triangular «DESTROY» mark.
«The stamp on the pork carcass at the Hau Giang slaughterhouse is incorrect because the square stamp indicates slaughter control approval for market release,» the statement explained.
The animal slaughter control stamp used at domestic slaughterhouses according to regulations on slaughter control and veterinary hygiene.
During the discussion, a deputy minister demanded clarification on who applied the incorrect stamp.
«We assure the public that this matter will be thoroughly investigated to prevent isolated misconduct from undermining overall standards.
If unresolved, the ministry will request intervention from the Environmental Police Department for further investigation.
Our goal is strict legal compliance—preventing environmental pollution and ensuring diseased pigs spreading infections are never slaughtered for consumption,» the official stated.
An official provides information at the press conference.
Slaughtered pigs showing pathology must be marked «HANDLE V.S.T.Y» or «DESTROY»
Regarding slaughter control procedures, regulations state that post-slaughter inspection must examine the head, organs, and carcass for abnormalities.
If disease signs are detected in meat or organs, they must be labeled, separated, and sent for final inspection before a disposal decision. Non-compliant products must bear either a «Processed V.S.T.Y» (Veterinary Sanitary Treatment) or «DESTROY» stamp.
«For pigs displaying skin pathology (severe dermatitis) post-slaughter, veterinarians must determine whether it stems from disease or transport damage.»
If disease-related, proper handling per guidelines is required. If visual diagnosis is impossible, samples must be tested. Pending results, slaughter for animal feed is prohibited.
If transport damage is confirmed, repurposing for animal feed is permitted. Veterinary logs must document findings per regulatory forms.
