The Philippine Star
|May 26, 2026
The Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) is seeking P1.5 billion in funding to put up several food safety laboratories throughout the country.
BPI director Gerald Glenn Panganiban told reporters the agency is looking for funding to establish 10 food safety laboratories, with an integrated nitrate-nitrite detecting unit.
The laboratories are aimed at modernizing quality assessments of crops and ensure that products meet international and local standards.
He said that the facilities will be used to detect microbiological contaminants, pesticides and chemical residue, and it will also be used to detect if products meet local agricultural standards and food safety.
