Towards the end of May, a strong statement by Tamil Nadu’s State Dairy Development minister Rajenthra Balaji left the producers and consumers of milk across the state unsettled. Alleging that several private milk companies mix chemical preservatives in milk to increase its shelf life, Balaji said, “Milk sold by private dealers is definitely adulterated. The milk that is banned in Kerala is being sold in Tamil Nadu according to my investigation. ” The minister made these comments during a speech at a function in Chennai on May 24.Balaji |
