Milk Adulteration needs immediate action
Researchers, led by Brototi Roy and colleagues at Maitreyi College in Delhi, randomly collected 75 milk samples (packaged and unpackaged) from different regions of Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and Faridabad. These were tested for adulterants such as neutralisers, skimmed milk powder, urea, detergents and ammonium sulphate.
The study found that all the milk samples were adulterated with neutralisers. These are substances added to prevent curdling and increase the shelf life of milk. They could be added in the form of caustic soda, sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. Packaged milk, that now forms a significant chunk of the milk delivered to homes, was found to contain a higher amount of neutralisers, solid milk products and urea. A higher proportion of unpackaged milk samples contained detergents and ammonium sulphate.
Milk adulterated with detergents is known to cause food poisoning and gastrointestinal complications. In addition, some detergents contained dioxane, a carcinogenic agent. The concentration of urea in natural milk ranges from 0.2 to 0.7 g/l whereas adulterated milk contains almost 20 times its natural concentration and stresses the kidney to the point of renal failure.
It is also reported to weaken the eyesight and trigger headaches and diarrhoea in children. In excessive quantities, ammonium sulphate can lead to coronary disease, gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. more

Even the TN Govt.of EPS is adulterated. MLA's were bought with cash and gold as per a recent sting conducted by TOI. But the question is this happened during the time of demonetisation so where did the crores of rupees in new notes to buy the MLA's and payment for the resort come from? Did RBI have a seperate distribution outlet for political parties? more

what are the authorities doing - the job or random checking is the scope of a department which has been exclusively set up - the food administration if I am not mistaken - I have heard about this adulteration and I would like to through this forum share with the government you have deprived my child of milk as I have stopped buying milk due this .....thank you Sarita for highlighting this issue...sad a country which is primarily an agriculture country cannot serve its people simple milk ...I have lot of why's but then my one question ....dear department please wake up and start acting !! more
