AGRA: A special squad of Food Safety and Drugs Administration (FSDA) on Tuesday raided a synthetic milk factory in Tundla near Bansidhar Degree Collegeand seized thousands of litres of spurious milk from the spot. Hydrogen peroxide and several other unidentified chemical adulterants were also found from there.
Earlier, FSDA had uncovered a major synthetic milk racket in which the accused were working in connivance with officials from the department and were using adulterants like hydrogen peroxide, detergent and urea for production. A team of FSDA, Agra district administration and police had conducted a raid at three houses in Kukhreliya village on May 25 this year and had seized adulterants in large quantities. The team had arrested a woman manufacturing synthetic milk and an FIR was registered against five people.
FSDA assistant commissioner Vineet Kumar, who headed Tuesday's raid, said, "We had got a tip-off regarding a synthetic milk factory being run in Tundla. Acting on that information, we formed a joint team of FSDA officials, Firozabad district administration and police, and raided the factory premises. The information was found to be true and we arrested two persons from the factory."
