In a bid to prevent adulteration in food items and products, the State Government has decided to flag off a mobile food testing laboratory to examine food samples.
The proposed lab would be launched in coordination with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the State Government to test samples of edible oil, milk and other food items, especially in rural and remote areas.
The decision was made in view of the media reports about food adulteration in urban and rural areas of the State. As food testing labs are not available everywhere, the FSSAI has decided to set up the mobile food testing lab in the States, including Odisha.
As per the decision, a cluster would be made comprising 20 districts of Odisha where there is no facility for food test.. The lab would move for 15 days a month in every district and examine food samples including ghee, khoa, sweet, edible oil, packaged drinking water and spicy and snacks items. If required, samples would be collected from an area and sent to the nearest testing lab.
A total of Rs 35 lakh would be spent for setting up the mobile food testing lab. The Government can operate the lab through any NGO, agency, trust or society. The technicians and other staffs of the lab would be provided training. The employees would be recruited by the Government, said a senior official in the Health Department.
