Milk in India largely safe, authority says

Milk

in India is largely safe, even though quality issues persist, an interim report released by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) said yesterday.

The report of the National Milk Quality Survey, 2018, FSSAI said is by far the largest systematic study of milk, both in terms of sample size (6,432 samples) and number of parameters. The study found that, little less than 10 per cent samples (638) had contaminants, while over 90 per cent of samples were found safe, said FSSAI CEO Pawan Agarwal. (PTI)
