Abstract: |
Union Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu has announced a proposal for setting up of a world class laboratory to test food quality in Goa by the Export Inspection Agency (EIA) and the Quality Council of India (QCI), both agencies of the government of India. Goans have been concerned over toxic chemicals in fish for several months. There are revelations of toxic elements in chicken, vegetables, fruits and milk too. In that light Prabhu’s promise is welcome. The EIA and the QCI follow world standards. |
