Abstract: Recently, the High Court demonstrated concern about food adulteration, especially in milk. Investigations conducted by Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA) have detected the presence of harmful metal such as lead in milk. The presence of lead in blood, even by a slight amount, is said to cause behavioural problems. It is also associated with all kinds of fatal health risks. Milk is an ideal source of nourishment for babies, women and the elderly.
