The raid was conducted at a facility belonging to M/s Korova Milk Product Private Limited. This seizure followed an earlier inspection where initial samples were collected and subsequently tested. The laboratory results, as reported by an FSSAI-notified lab, revealed that the samples were “sub-standard” and had been adulterated with foreign vegetable fats.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges related to food safety within the agribusiness sector, particularly in emerging markets. Adulteration not only defrauds consumers but also undermines the reputation and economic stability of legitimate dairy producers. The FSSAI’s proactive surveillance drive aims to restore consumer trust and enforce stricter quality standards across the industry.

The enforcement action by the FSSAI is a critical data point for dairy economics and for the broader international dairy community. The ability of regulatory bodies to conduct targeted raids and successfully seize fraudulent products is essential for protecting the integrity of the supply chain. This case demonstrates that regulatory scrutiny is increasing and that operators involved in illicit activities are being held accountable.
