Around 24 food testing labs in India are currently running without notification with the Food Safety and Standard authority of India (FSSAI) under the Union Health Ministry. Out of the 24, 14 labs have enjoyed grant-in-aid from the Ministry of Food Processing Industries for setting up the labs and their upgradations, but yet not managed to obtain the mandatory National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) accreditation.
