Last year, the FDA had collected 142 milk samples for testing, of which 53 failed the test, revealed the reply to the RTI query. BACK in 2007, Maharashtra had emerged as a major centre for milk adulteration, and 10 years later, the situation doesn’t seem to have changed much. An RTI application filed by The Indian Express with the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) revealed that milk adulteration continues unabated in Pune, with more than 37 per cent of milk samples failing the FDA’s quality test in the last one year. Several samples collected from smaller dairies, which procure milk from unorganised players, failed the quality test. Pune-based activist Vijay Kumbhar demanded that the names of dairies and milk producers, which fail the quality test, should be posted online to raise awareness about the issue.
