Uttarakhand Bans Manufacture and Sale of Substandard Dairy Products
The Uttarakhand government has banned the manufacture, storage, transportation, and sale of substandard dairy products such as paneer, ghee, and butter made with vegetable oils, starch, or chemicals instead of pure milk. The ban, effective immediately under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, aims to ensure safe and quality food. A statewide inspection drive will monitor dairy units and markets, with violators facing prosecution, product seizure, and license cancellation.
