The Story in Brief
Uttar Pradesh food safety authorities have destroyed 868 kg of paneer and 170 kg of khoya during raids at multiple dairy establishments in Ghaziabad, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) said on X. The action follows a major raid in Mathura's Kosikalan area, where officials reportedly seized and destroyed 1,500 kg of adulterated paneer and 3,000 litres of milk from a cheese manufacturing unit.
The FSSAI said nine samples, including paneer, milk and oil, have been sent for lab testing. The regulator described the crackdown as part of a nationwide campaign against food adulteration.
The Indian Opinion
This is not the first time paneer raids have made headlines, but enforcement remains sporadic and localised. The bigger story is the routine adulteration of milk products across India, which FSSAI's own studies have documented for years. Instead of another viral video, what would settle the matter is the quarterly conviction rate and penalty amounts against repeat offenders. Who is tracking whether the same units in Ghaziabad are back in business next month?
