The Dubai Municipality (DM) has launched its debut Mobile Food Testing Lab, with Global Village acting as its very first test site.
To ensure the highest food safety standards, the mobile lab will be on-site throughout the six-month duration of season 23 at Global Village, from October 30 to April 6, 2019.
In collaboration with the Food Safety Department at DM, food inspectors within the mobile lab will now be able to test food samples on-the-spot at densely populated visitor attractions, with Global Village being the first.
Where normal food sample testing takes five days to turnaround results, the Mobile Food Testing Lab will expedite the process by more than half, reducing turnaround time to just two days.
Currently, the municipality has one mobile lab in operation but Farida Mohd, head of food microbiology analysis unit told Khaleej Times that Dubai Municipality has a plan to cover all big events.
"The long term plan is to be on the spot at Expo 2020. With two main testing machines within the mobile unit, it can run 96 samples per batch in one machine and 16 samples per batch in the other; that's more than 100 food samples. The aim is to detect food-borne pathogens to avoid food contamination at highly-populated events like the Dubai World Cup, the Dubai Airshow, among others."
After touring the mobile lab at the 12th International Food Safety Conference at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) on Monday, Her Excellency Mariam Bint Mohammed Saeed Hareb Al Mehairi, Minister of State for Food Security told Khaleej Times the lab will cater to large quantities of visitors.
"The aim of the lab is to keep the consumer safe by checking food on site, to make sure there are no food-borne diseases."
