According to the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade, the EU issued a notice on June 13 to amend the "New Regulations on the Emergency Control measures on the imported food in EU ", which will be Vietnam's rice noodles and vermicelli from the need to supplement the list of food safety certificate deletion. The regulation takes effect on July 3, 2022.
The EU still requires additional food safety certificates for Vietnamese instant noodles that contain condiments and other ingredients.
Side vegetables still take 50% of the border inspection frequency.
For dragon fruit, the EU still maintains the requirement of supplementary food safety certificate, inspection frequency is 20%.

Instant noodles containing condiments and sauces (HS 1902 30 10 30) still need to apply for the Food Safety certificate of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
