\n<\/div>\n
\nAccording to the FSSAI\u2019s 2011 survey, the most common adulterant was found to be the addition of water, and the main reason for deviation from the standards was addition of glucose and skimmed milk powder. Addition of water will reduce the nutritional values and if contaminated can cause health hazards. It also found that in some samples, detergent was mixed.<\/div>\n

\nA PIL alleged that synthetic and adulterated milk and milk products are prepared using urea, detergent, refined oil, caustic soda and white paint which, according to studies, are \u201cvery hazardous\u201d to human life and can cause serious diseases like cancer.<\/div>\n
