District


RAWALPINDI: The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) on Monday discarded 800 litres of adulterated and substandard milk during the ongoing operation against tainted milk in the city areas.

According to a PFA spokesman, dairy safety teams inspected several milk shops on Murree Road and imposed heavy fines on four shops involved in selling substandard milk.

He said the purpose of the crackdown was to control the wicked practice of milk adulteration and ensure the implementation of Punjab Pure Food Regulations.

He appealed to the public to keep an eye on adulteration in their surroundings and to inform PFA on the 1223 helpline number or PFA Facebook page in case of witnessing any suspicious activities related to the food.
