New Delhi [India], April 4 (ANI): To tackle food adulteration, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has launched an innovative method to curb and detect the pervasive issue of food adulteration. According to FSSAI webiste, it has launched a “Detect Adulteration with Rapid Test (DART) Book”, which serves as a guide for consumers to identify common food adulterants in household items. With over 50 quick tests covering various food categories such as milk, oils, sugar, and spices, the DART booklet equips consumers with easy-to-follow instructions and pictorial representations to distinguish between pure and adulterated products. These initiatives aim to empower consumers, enhance surveillance, and raise awareness about food safety across the country. Additionally, FSSAI has launched the “Food Safety on Wheels” (FSW) initiative, deploying mobile food testing laboratories equipped with essential infrastructure for on-the-spot qualitative testing. These multi-purpose vehicles traverse remote areas, public gatherings, schools, and consumer organizations, conducting quick tests for specific adulterants in commonly consumed food items like ghee, milk, sweets, and spices.
