A suspected adulterated milk operation was uncovered in Haripar village of Kalavad taluka in Jamnagar, where the Rajkot Range team conducted raids at the residences and dairies of six people allegedly involved in the business.
During the operation, officials seized 7,150 litres of suspected adulterated milk, along with 120 kg of vegetable ghee and 15 kg of milk powder.
Food Safety Department Collects Milk Samples
Following the seizure, the Food Safety Department was informed and officials collected samples of the suspected milk for laboratory testing.
Preliminary investigation has raised suspicion that the milk may have been adulterated. However, the exact nature of the alleged adulteration and whether the milk posed any health risk will be established only after the laboratory reports are received.
Suspected Milk And Other Material Destroyed
Authorities reportedly destroyed the seized 7,150 litres of suspected milk and other material in accordance with prescribed procedures, keeping health and environmental concerns in mind.
The Food Safety Department has continued its investigation. Further legal action against those responsible is likely after the laboratory reports establish the nature of the suspected adulteration.
