In a major move to safeguard food quality, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has taken a significant step against those selling donkey meat under the guise of halal meat.
The KP Food Safety & Halal Food Authority has established a state-of-the-art laboratory capable of detecting the quality and authenticity of meat within seconds. The lab scientifically tests food samples to ensure safety and compliance with halal standards.
Operating under the Food Safety Authority, the facility analyzes samples of milk, water, spices, beverages, and especially meat—determining whether the meat is from a donkey, buffalo, or cow.
The lab is equipped with cutting-edge machinery, including FTIR, HPLC, and UHPLC systems, all meeting global testing standards.
According to officials, this facility will play a vital role in improving food safety, ensuring quality, and identifying harmful or substandard products in a timely manner.
