2 eateries fined for using poor quality milk

The Ropar Additional Deputy Commissioner has imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh under the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, each on two eating joints in the district for allegedly using substandard milk.
These eating joints are Kikar Lodge, a resort at Kangar village in Nurpur Bedi Area, and Sartaj Tourist Dhaba at Malakpur village.
Earlier, samples of cow milk were collected from Kikar Lodge on November 10 last year. Under the provisions of the Act, cow milk should have 4 per cent fat and 8.5 per cent solid not fats (SNF). The laboratory analysis revealed that the samples of milk from Kikar lodge had 3.6 per cent fat and 8.3 per cent SNF.
Similarly the samples of mixed milk collected from Sartaj Tourist Dhaba had 1.5 per cent fat and 7.5 per cent SNF. Interestingly, the samples of milk from the canteen of the local mini secretariat had also failed the quality test last month. The case, however, is under process.
