1 lab, 2 states: Telangana’s sole food testing facility delays safety reports by months
Telangana's sole food testing lab in Nacharam faces significant delays, often taking three to four months to process nearly 600 daily samples from both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. A shortage of trained staff, exacerbated by post-bifurcation transfers, has doubled the workload. The state is seeking FSSAI approval for new labs and more staff to address these critical issues.
