Quetta (UNA): In a major anti-adulteration drive, the Balochistan Food Authority (BFA) carried out large-scale operations across Quetta, targeting milk and dairy suppliers in areas including Alamdar Road, Sariab, Ghousabad, Mekangi, Kasi Road, and Toghi Road.
During inspections of 28 shops and 15 milk carrier vehicles, samples of 7,270 liters of milk were sent to mobile laboratories for testing. Authorities seized and destroyed 285 liters of adulterated milk and 216 kilograms of substandard yogurt on the spot, while eight outlets were heavily fined for violating food safety laws.
Secretary Food Balochistan, Manzar Javed Ali, emphasized that the authority would not tolerate adulteration under any circumstances.
“Providing pure milk and yogurt is not just a campaign but a mission for safeguarding public health,” he said, warning that strict legal action will continue against violators.
He further urged citizens to report suspicious milk or yogurt vendors, stressing that public cooperation is vital in eliminating food adulteration from the province.
