Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Maharashtra has come down heavily on the milk adulteration racket in the state, including Mumbai. In a massive crackdown, up to 935 litres of milk were seized in the city alone from two milk adulteration dens in the western suburbs. Also, FDA officials intercepted a milk truck in Goregaon (East), seizing allegedly adulterated milk samples. On Tuesday, FDA officials had raided slums in Pathanwadi area of Malad (East) and stumbled upon milk pouches of reputed brands being tampered with. One accused, Pandu Vitya, was arrested.
