Restaurants in hotels must obtain a certificate of eligibility for food safety conditions?

According to Article 12 of Decree 15/2018/ND-CP, the following establishments are not required to obtain a Certificate of Food Safety Eligibility:

- Small-scale initial production;- Food production and business without a fixed location;- Small-scale preliminary processing;- Small-scale food business;- Pre-packaged food business;- Production and business of tools, packaging materials, and food containers;- Hotel restaurants;- Collective kitchens without food business registration;- Street food business;- Establishments that have been granted one of the following certificates: Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System, International Food Standard (IFS), Global Standard for Food Safety (BRC), Food Safety System Certification (FSSC 22000) or equivalent still in effect.

Therefore, opening a restaurant in a hotel does not require a Certificate of Food Safety Eligibility. However, it must still comply with the corresponding food safety requirements.

Respectfully!
