PFA discards 500-litre tainted milk

LAHORE: Punjab Food Authority (PAF) has unearthed a factory in Pakpattan producing tainted milk.
The authority discarded 500-litre tainted milk during the raid. PFA Director General Capt (Retd) Muhammad Usman said fake milk was being produced by adding chemicals, powder and vanaspati ghee in it.
He said chemically contaminated milk was being supplied to shops in different cities of Punjab after storing it in chillers. The use of impure milk was causing stomach diseases, he said and added that the PFA was implementing the pasteurization policy for a complete elimination of adulterated milk in the province.
Meanwhile, the PFA issued a ticket to Chamman Sweets Swaiya (Vermicelli) unit due to the abundance of insects there and use of loose colors.
