Aimed at curbing adulteration of milk and milk products, in both organised and unorganised sectors in all the districts of the States/Union Territories, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) will conduct nationwide surveillance on milk and other products (such as milk khoa, chenna, paneer, ghee, butter, curd, and ice cream).
 
The announcement on Thursday comes in the backdrop of the country facing an alleged milk shortage with cooperatives reporting an increase in production of only 1-2 % this year and organised and unorganised sector points registering stagnation. The sector also continues to grapple with the hit it took during Covid-19 and more recently the Lumpy Skin Disease (which caused the death of 1.9 lakh cattle) and fodder inflation at 30%.
