Hyderabad Police Seize 36 Tonnes of Adulterated Ghee in Citywide Raids
Hyderabad police, in coordination with the Food Safety Department, seized 36 tonnes of adulterated ghee and related raw materials during raids at 130 establishments, including 39 manufacturing units and 91 selling outlets. The synthetic ghee was reportedly made by mixing palm oil, vanaspati, starch, skimmed milk powder, and artificial flavors to mimic genuine ghee. Products were sold under labels like "100 Pure Ghee" despite failing labelling standards. Samples have been sent for laboratory analysis, and further legal action is planned.
