FSSAI Demonstrates Simple Home Test to Detect Detergent in Milk
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has demonstrated a simple home test to detect detergent adulteration in milk. By shaking 5-10 ml of milk in a glass and observing bubble formation, consumers can preliminarily identify possible contamination, as detergents create persistent foam due to surfactants. Pure milk forms little to no lasting bubbles. While this test offers a quick check, laboratory analysis remains the most reliable method. Consumers are advised to buy milk from trusted sources and verify packaging and safety marks.
