The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) announced on Wednesday that it had seized and discarded 800 liters of substandard milk from the Atari village area. Following orders from the PFA Director General, a food safety team raided an illegal factory, confiscating 800 liters of low-quality milk, along with a mini truck, two machines, a gas cylinder, a stove, drums, cans, and a plunger. A case has been registered against those responsible.
The factory was found to be producing milk using harmful additives such as vegetable ghee, banned powders, and other dangerous ingredients. PFA Director General Asim Javed stated that the team also impounded a vehicle (CAJ-6784) that was being used to supply the adulterated milk to various societies in Lahore.
