| Abstract: |
♦ HC asks BFSA, BSTI to report what actions taken to check adulteration of milk, curd and cattle feed. ♦ No drug store can sell antibiotic for cattle without prescriptions from registered veterinary doctors. Amid concerns about the quality of the packaged and non-packaged milk available in the market, Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA) has now detected lead, a harmful heavy metal, in pasteurised milk of 11 brands. The companies are Milk Vita (state-run), Aarong Milk, Pran Milk, Dairy Fresh, Igloo Milk, Farm Fresh, Aftab Milk, Ultra Milk, Ayran Milk, Pura Milk and Safe Milk -- all registered under Bangladesh Standard and Testing Institution (BSTI). |
