Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parikar will be launching India’s first mobile food testing laboratory on Sunday, to enable on-the-spot food safety tests.
This is the first ever ’Food Safety on Wheel’ mobile laboratory in the country.
The vehicle is equipped to conduct on-the-spot tests to check the food quality. It will also check the hygiene level of water, and the results can be received within 15 minutes.
The mobile laboratory costs Rs 45 lakh and it has been fully funded by the Centre.
The mobile lab will do away with need to get the food samples to the FDA laboratory near Panaji for tests. It will cut the delays.
