Uttar Pradesh Cracks Down on Adulterated and Imitation Dairy Products
Authorities in Uttar Pradesh have intensified efforts against adulterated dairy products, destroying 500 kg of contaminated paneer in Mathura and seizing over 22,000 quintals of imitation paneer, khoya, and other dairy items across the state in six months. The Food Safety and Drug Administration conducted raids targeting units producing dairy analogues made with non-milk ingredients, which are now prohibited under a recent state order. These actions aim to ensure food safety ahead of the festive season and address illegal dairy trade concerns in the region.
