Indore’s FDA launches mobile lab to expose unsafe food in real time
A new campaign to combat food adulteration has begun in Indore. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is leading the effort to teach consumers and stall owners how to spot unsafe food. The initiative uses a mobile lab to demonstrate simple testing methods on the spot.
The campaign kicked off at Indore’s 56 Dukan area, where the mobile lab tested 30 food samples immediately. Officials collected items from local vendors and checked them for adulteration in front of the public.
The mobile lab will now travel to key locations across the city. These include Hub Chaupati, Bengali Square, Zodiac Mall, Hatod main market, Khudel main market, and Betma Bus Stand. At each stop, the team will show people how to detect common food contaminants using basic techniques. The programme operates under the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006. Its goal is to raise awareness and encourage safer food handling among both sellers and buyers.
The FDA’s mobile lab will keep visiting different parts of Indore in the coming weeks. Samples from food stalls will be tested live to demonstrate adulteration risks. The campaign aims to make food safety checks more accessible to the general public.
