Jaipur: If you are not satisfied with the quality of milk provided at your doorstep by the milkman and you have doubts about adulteration in the milk, Rajasthan Cooperative Dairy Federation (RCDF) has come up with a solution.
RCDF has started a campaign, “Doodh ka Doodh Pani ka Pani” from Jan 10 across the state. With this, locals in their areas can get the quality of milk provided to them tested free of cost.
The tests so far revealed shocking results for the state. Alarmed by this, Shruti Bhardwaj, the Administrator and Managing Director of RCDF, wrote to the food department urging them to organise a separate campaign against milk adulteration.
“During the campaign, in the last 13 days, 7,299 samples were tested across the state, out of which 3,475 samples were found adulterated with water. In total, 48.24% of the samples contained water adulteration, and 1.41% of the samples contained chemical adulterants. Maximum adulteration was found in the loose milk,” said Bhardwaj.
“Our aim is to make people aware of the fact that the quality of milk should be kept in mind for better health. They should get it tested, and if they are getting poor quality, they should change the milk they are buying,” she added.
Alarmed by this, she wrote to the food safety and drug controller commissionerate. “At the majority of the places from where we took samples, the milk had a heavy water content,” she added.
