NEW DELHI: No formal intimation has been received regarding adulteration of any major brand of packaged milk in the recent past, Government today told the Rajya Sabha even as it listed out a number of measures to check the sale of spurious milk across the country. " The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has informed that it has not received any formal intimation regarding adulteration of any major brand of packaged milk in recent past," Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Shripad Yesso Naik said. He was responding to a question whether recently some top brands of packaged milk have been found to be adulterated and steps being taken by the government to check packaged milk adulteration. Naik said the government has launched a pilot project in three states to check spurious milk by providing them an advanced machine, which can check 90 to 100 samples per hour. |
