1800 liters of fake milk was made from 300 liters of real milk.
According to investigators, very small quantities of real milk were used to make fake milk. Every day 1700 to 1800 liters of fake milk was prepared by mixing chemicals and other substances in about 300 liters of real milk. Caustic soda, detergent powder and urea were used to thicken the milk and make it frothy.
Investigation revealed that fake milk was being prepared in the factory by mixing 450 kg protein powder, 650 kg skimmed milk powder, 300 kg premium SMP powder, urea fertilizer, caustic soda, detergent powder, soybean oil and palm oil. 1962 liters of fake milk and 1180 liters of fake buttermilk were seized from the spot, which were ready to be packed and sent to the market.
1370 liters of poisonous milk was destroyed on the spot
FSSAI has immediately closed the factory. 1370 liters of dangerous milk recovered from the spot was destroyed on the spot. In this case, factory operators Jitendra Patel, Sachin Makwana, Karan Parmar and Ajay Singh Parmar have been arrested, while a minor employee has been detained.
The owner of the factory, Rakesh alias Dhamo Patel, who is originally a resident of Salala and was currently living in Himmatnagar, is currently absconding. The police is busy searching for him. A case has been registered against the accused under various sections of the Indian Justice Code and Food Safety Act.
There was an uproar on social media
As soon as this matter came to light, there was a huge uproar on social media. Both fear and anger are being seen among the people. The special thing is that recently serious allegations have come to light regarding the milk of big dairy companies of the country. The complainant claims that harmful substances have also been found in milk of brands like Amul, Mother Dairy and Country Delight.
According to the laboratory test report, the level of coliform in Amul Fresh and Amul Gold was found to be much higher than the prescribed limit. The total plate count (TPC) in Mother Dairy cow milk was above the safe limit, while the level was almost double that in Country Delight cow milk. Only Amul Tetra Pack was found safe in the test.
Milk is not completely safe even after boiling
The complainant says that no matter how long the milk is boiled, the harmful elements are not completely eliminated. Consumption of such contaminated milk can be extremely dangerous for children, elderly and pregnant women. At present, the administration and food safety department are thoroughly investigating this entire matter to find out how big is the scope of this fake milk network and who else are involved in it.
