PFA Raids Fake Milk Factory in Chak 91 Bhattian
The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) on Sunday uncovered a fake milk manufacturing facility in Chak 91 Bhattian, located on Lahore Road, and disposed of 520 litres of adulterated milk that had been produced using dry powder. Acting on a tip-off, a PFA team conducted a raid at the site and recovered the 520 litres of fake milk along with a large quantity of dry milk powder and other ingredients used in the manufacturing process.
Legal Action and Public Advisory
The team disposed of the adulterated milk on the spot and registered a case against the owner of the unit. PFA officials advised citizens to play an active role in identifying food adulterators by reporting complaints through the official helpline 1223. The authority emphasized the importance of community vigilance in ensuring food safety.
Background on Food Adulteration in Punjab
This raid is part of ongoing efforts by the PFA to combat food fraud in the province. Adulterated milk poses serious health risks, including digestive issues and long-term organ damage. The PFA has previously conducted similar operations across Punjab, seizing thousands of litres of fake milk and other adulterated products. The authority urges consumers to verify the authenticity of dairy products and report suspicious activities.
