750 Liter Adulterated Milk Wasted

MUZAFFARGARH, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Jul, 2024) Punjab Food Authority disposed of about 750 liter adulterated milk after holding picket here, official spokesman said.

The food safety team checked 15 vehicles of milk passing through bypass. Out of them, three vehicles were spotted as carrying adulterated milk when checked through the lacto machine, it was said. 

About Rs. 10,000 fine imposed on the owners proved guilty of the offence.

DG PFA, Asim Javed said in this regard that the traces of water and chemicals besides shortage of essential fats were found in the milk.

The entire stuff 'being taken away in the name of milk' was disposed of at the road side, he said. Nobody would be allowed to play with lives of consumers, he said. 

He said milk was essential product in human life but some nefarious elements are out playing with the health of the people.

He termed the adulterators as criminals were roaming scotfree in society.

He appealed the masses to cooperate with Punjab Food Authority to dispel activities of the mafia involved in mixing and adulteration in common food items.
