Food Safety on Wheels, a mobile food testing van of the Goa Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), was launched by chief minister Manohar Parrikar and health minister Vishwajit Rane.

Fully equipped with a lab, van will be used to conduct tests for common adulterants in milk, water, edible oils and other items. It will also be possible to draw on the spot samples and generate instant reports of the analysis.

FDA director Jyoti Sardesai said “The FDA will also tie up with panchayats, municipalities and consumer clubs to spread awareness about food safety, hygiene and healthy eating habits”.

The van that costs Rs 41 lakh was procured under the central government scheme to strengthen the food testing system in the country.

Mizoram Govt sends Maggi noodles to Assam for testing

Mizoram government has sent samples of Maggi instant noodles from the state to the Assam Public Health Laboratory in Guwahati, a senior state health department official said to PTI.

Joint Director (Food and Drugs Administration) Lalsawma told that the samples were sent yesterday as Mizoram does not have testing facilities to determine food safety.

Lalsawma said that the laboratory would send its report and findings to the Mizoram health department which would be submitted to the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI).

Though the state government did not ban the Nestle product, the company continued recalling its product from the state.

He said that the recalling process progressed well but recalling all the products from all the remote villages took time.
