Samples tested in primary lab can't be sent to NFL under PPP mode: FSSAI.
Aug 18, 2023

The food authority has issued an order with respect to labs working in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode that if samples were tested in any of the primary notified lab, irrespective of their geographical location, the appeal samples cannot be sent to the National Food Laboratory operating under the PPP mode with such private labs.  
 
The FSSAI has issued an order in this regard mentioning three private labs including M/s Arbro Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. (M/s APPL), M/s Vimta Labs Limited and M/s National Commodity Management Services Limited (Formerly National Collateral Management Services Limited), which are working in a PPP mode with National Food Laboratory Ghaziabad, National Food Laboratory, JNPT, Mumbai, and National Food Laboratory, CPT, Chennai, respectively.  
The order reads that ‘It is to inform that, if a sample has been tested in any of the primary notified laboratories mentioned above, irrespective of their geographical location, the appeal/referral sample shall not be sent to the National Food Laboratory operating under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode with the same primary notified laboratory where the primary sample was tested.’
 
Earlier, FSSAI has ordered that the Appellate/Referral Samples may be sent to any Referral Laboratory as per their valid scope of testing irrespective of their areas of jurisdiction. However, since some labs are working in PPP mode with private labs, the food authority felt the need for a clarification, remarked an industry expert.
