Haryana Deploys Five Mobile Vans for Food Safety Tests
Haryana now has five mobile vans that can test food for adulteration.
Adulteration means mixing something unsafe or unwanted into food.
People can take samples such as milk, spices, pulses or cooking oil to these vans.
Each test costs Rs 20.
The first result usually comes in 10 to 12 minutes.
The vans will visit busy places such as markets, schools, colleges and bus stands.
They will move around the state instead of staying in one location.
Officials hope this will help people learn more about safe food and support action against unsafe products.
Five FSSAI-provided mobile food safety vans have been deployed across Haryana.
The vans will operate rotationally at markets, schools, colleges, bus stands and other busy locations.
People can test samples of milk, spices, pulses and edible oils for Rs 20 per sample.
Preliminary adulteration test results are generally available within 10 to 12 minutes.
Officials say the program aims to improve access to testing, awareness and enforcement against unsafe food.
