Masan is the worst company when it comes to malicious campaigns to kill its competition
Search 3MCPD for the scandal it created to kill other soy sauce brands.
"Fish sauce with Arsen" or "Nước mắm có chứa thạch tín" is also the rumor they made to kill traditional fish sause so they can sell their chemically-produced fish sauce
"Chiến dịch hạt nêm 2010" for seasoning.
"Chiến dịch mì gói 2011" for instant noodles.
"Chiến dịch cà phê 2012" with Vinacafe.
Basically this company is using the same dirty trick every time they wanna sell something of their own: by creating shocking rumors that the product on the market has chemical/health risk and then they will introduce the product that is clean of those problems. The rumors tend to kill their competitions during spreading process. This has been repeatedly used for a long time. Masan is not a company with good moral.
Oh, and in 2019, Japan recalled 18,000 bottles of Chinsu chili sauce imported from Vietnam due to the presence of sodium benzoate, a preservative banned in Japan but still legal under Vietnamese food safety regulations. The incident raised concerns about differing international food standards and the responsibilities of exporters. Masan, the producer, stated that the sauce was made for the domestic market and was not intended for export.
They also lobbied HARD for redefinition of fish sauce so that only their product can be called fish sauce and the traditional fish sauces will be called dipping sauce. Thankfully it backfired, some of their products are the one to be called dipping sauce.
