PM inspects mobile lab for food safety testing at the Secretariat

Prime minister Tarique Rahman inspected a mobile laboratory van at the Secretariat, observing how food samples are collected and tested to ensure safety.

Before entering the Secretariat on Wednesday morning, he approached the mobile laboratory stationed at the premises at the Cabinet Division and observed its testing procedures as officials briefed him on its activities, said his prime minister’s deputy press secretary Hasan Shiplu.

Officials informed the prime minister that food sample testing and monitoring have been intensified as part of anti-adulteration drives across the country.

Currently, mobile laboratories are being used to test food samples and monitor food safety in eight metropolitan areas, with plans to gradually expand the operations to all 64 districts.

The activities are conducted through mobile courts led by executive magistrates and separately under the supervision of the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority.

The procurement of 72 mobile laboratory vans is underway under a capacity-building project of the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority in the current 2026-27 fiscal year.

The vans also feature facilities to raise public awareness of food safety, including exterior monitors that display awareness videos.

Food minister Afroza Khanam, Jatiya Sangsad Chief Whip Nurul Islam Moni, state minister for food Abdul Bari, prime minister’s principal secretary ABM Abdus Sattar, public administration ministry secretary Quamruzzaman Chowdhury and senior officials of the food ministry were present during the inspection.
