Abstract: A factory producing thousands of litres of counterfeit milk a day has been shut down in India by local enforcement agencies. The unit in the Morena district of Madhya Pradesh was raided this week, resulting in two arrests, and is thought to have been producing 4,00-5,000 litres of milk a day, according to a Times of India report. A third suspect remains at large. The newspaper said the milk was produced using glucose, refined oils and other noxious components such as liquid detergent and was being distributed in local markets as well as to other companies supplying milk products.
