Commissioner of Food Safety cum Commissioner & Secretary, H&FW, V Kezo in his address stated that MFSW is not only to be used for testing of food samples but also to focus on inculcating safe food habits and to create a food safety mindset among the general public. He also emphasized that consumers should check food package labeling like best before, expiry date, ingredients, and FSSAI registration/license number on the package before buying any food products.

 

The two new MFSW was flagged off by Principal Director cum Additional Food Safety Commissioner, Directorate of Health & Family Welfare, Dr Vibeituonuo M Sachu. The main function of MFSW is to execute testing of surveillance samples, training and creating awareness to food business operators (FBO) and consumers on food safety in urban as well as rural areas, and to provide on-the-spot test facilities on common food adulterations. FSW can also be used to transport samples picked from remote areas to the nearest Food Testing Laboratory.
With the launching of the two MFSW, the state now has three mobile food testing laboratories under Nagaland Food Safety Project which is allotted for Kohima, Mokokchung and Dimapur Zones.
