In Vietnam, pork and pork products still play an important role in food security which contributes more than 56 % of total meat intake [1]. Each Vietnamese consumed approximately 29,1 kg pork/year, among the highest in the world [2]. However, along with the development, the pork value chain has been criticised for its quality degradation and lessened the trust of community, in which microbiology contaminated pork has been a critical issue. Previous studies reveal that salmonella contaminated in pork was so prevalence with 44.4 % to 70.7 % of pork in markets positive with Salmonella [3, 4], leading to human salmonellosis with 17.7 % cases out of whole Vietnamese population [5].
