Samples of nearly 22% of various milk-based products were found to be non-conforming in 2024-25
CHANDIGARH: Despite the claims of the UT administration regarding effective monitoring and control of food adulteration, nearly 22% of various milk-based product samples analysed in 2024-25 were found to be non-conforming to prescribed standards, raising serious concerns about public health.
The issue came up during the ongoing session of the Lok Sabha, where Prataprao Jadhav, minister of state in the ministry of health and family welfare, informed that the percentage of adulterated milk products in Chandigarh was 7.22% in 2021-22; 13.53% in 2022-23; 15.76% in 2023-24 and it has surged to 22% in 2024-25.
