Detergent Residue Found in Majority of Milk Samples in Kullu InspectionPreviousNext

A Food Safety Department inspection in Kullu found detergent residue in most of 15 milk samples tested, while no urea or starch adulteration was detected. Officials attributed contamination to insufficient rinsing of milk storage containers after washing. Vendors received warnings and were urged to improve cleaning practices to ensure consumer safety. Future violations may result in fines up to Rs 10 lakh or imprisonment. The department plans ongoing monitoring to maintain food quality standards.
