Milky Way
According to a recent study conducted by Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), 70 per cent of milk distributed in Delhi does not subscribe to the fixed safety norms, however, the Delhi government claims that none of the samples checked were found containing any harmful adulterants like detergent or urea.
While this controversy gathers steam, Metrolife discovers how Delhiites are reeling under this debate. A pregnant Anshul Garg said, “A common man does not have any other choice. I get milk from the vendor and we do not check its quality. Two days back I developed some kind of allergy from milk and my doctor has now recommended that I stop having this milk. As a mom to be I have to take milk, but this news has shocked me.”
The study conducted this month also found that the milk was adulterated with skimmed milk powder and glucose, or more shockingly hydrogen peroxide, urea and detergent.
Hydrogen peroxide is used in bleach, while urea is commonly used in fertiliser.
Veena Mehta, a professional said, “There should be strict vigilance on each plant and dairies to ascertain the reality. We need solutions for these issues and the government just cannot keep numb about the health of its people.”
Almost 70 per cent of the 1,791 samples taken nationwide were contaminated or watered down, according to the report.
Out of 33 Indian states, non-fat adulterants were found in all the milk samples from West Bengal, Orissa and Jharkhand.
“I have children at home to feed milk and all this news about adulteration has shocked us. What to eat and what not to eat is the basic question? What do we feed our children? This is the question of our health. The government has to do something about it as soon as possible,” said Aarti Sharma, a homemaker. Same was the case with Renu Gupta, a professional, “We came to know about this study and next will be food items.
What will we have? Why is there so much corruption everywhere?”
Delhi fared worse than most states, with as many as 70 per cent of the samples tainted. Goa and Puducherry conformed to the standards with no indication of adulteration in their milk.
The study across 33 states has revealed that milk was adulterated with detergent, fat and even urea, besides the age-old practice of diluting it with water.
