NATIONAL MILK SAMPLE SAFETY QUALITY SURVEY

Key findings: 

• Milk samples from Telangana, followed by Madhya Pradesh and Kerala, showed the highest number of cases of adulteration. 
  
  
• In terms of safety parameters, 4% of the total processed milk samples (of 2,607) failed to comply with the FSSAI norm as contaminants like aflatoxin-M1 were found. In case of raw milk, non-compliance was at an even higher rate of 47% of the total samples of 3,825. 
  
  
• In terms of quality, 7% of the total sample of processed milk did not comply with quality parameters because the presence of contaminants such as fats, Maltodextrin and sugar were above permissible limits.
