Abstract: SC drive against food adulteration. In developed nations, quality control and inspection of food items and their processing is a routine day-to-day matter but in Pakistan, it is a historic move. And so Supreme Court of Pakistan has taken another such step by ordering the lab tests of all packaged milk, seeking report within two weeks. Undoubtedly it is a timely and appreciable move as millions of parents across the country are now feeding their children with packed milk these days. The packed milk usage has exponentially increased in last two decades or so but nothing concrete has been done on part of relevant government agencies to check the quality of milk being provided to the consumers.
