Lahore, Pakistan: The Punjab Food Authority caught the mafia selling chemical milk in the name of the original.
On the orders of the DG Food Authority, food safety teams raided the milk shop located on Rakh Chandrai Road, destroyed 700 liters of fake milk, seized the mixing machine, supplier’s motorcycle, and drum, registered a case, and closed the dairy shop.
According to the details, fake milk powder, vegetable ghee, and prohibited ingredients were being prepared. DG Food Authority said the teams caught the shopkeeper red-handed while preparing fake milk. The shop was found to have poor sanitation, bees infested, and fake milk kept in blue drums.
The production of fake milk was thwarted by recovering milk powder and vegetable ghee from the dairy shop. Asim Javed said that the shop was closed for forgery and a case was registered against the person responsible.
DG Food Authority said that the use of fake and adulterated milk is very harmful to human health. He said that strict action would be taken for violating the rules set by the Punjab Food Authority, and citizens should report the mafia on 1223 if they find any such shop selling fake milk.
