KP FOOD SAFETY & HALAL FOOD AUTHORITY

Mobile food testing laboratory

To ensure the availability of healthy, clean, and adulteration-free food for the citizens of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Food Safety & Halal Food Authority operates a network of 12 Mobile Food Testing Laboratories across the province.

These mobile laboratories are equipped with modern and advanced tools, including milk analysers, arsenic testing kits for water, refractometers, moisture analysers, pH and TDS meters, and thermal printers. The mobile labs offer on-the-spot testing services for a wide range of food items, including milk, drinking water, spices, tea, salt, honey, ice cream, juices, and other essential food products.

Through these mobile units, citizens can conveniently access free testing services at the divisional and district levels to ensure that the food items they consume meet health and safety standards. The mobile labs have the capability to conduct immediate tests and provide instant printed reports, while inspection results are also uploaded to an online monitoring dashboard for transparency and timely action.

This initiative aims to strengthen food safety standards, prevent adulteration, and build public confidence by making food testing facilities easily accessible to everyone.
