LAHORE: Director General Punjab Food Authority said on Friday that as many as 115,000 litres of adulterated and substandard milk have been seized from different cities of the province.

PFA DG Noorul Amin Mengal said the actions have been taken in Lahore, Rahimyar Khan, Rajanpur, and Attock.

He said that as many as 22,000 litres of milk were seized in Lahore because it was contaminated with chemical, water and other ingredients.

PFA also seized 6,000 litres of substandard milk during a city-wide drive in Jehanian against adulterated and substandard milk.

Mengal said that in five years time there will be a complete ban on the sale of non-packable milk.

The PFA authorities wasted the seized milk in a stream.

In its provincial drive against sale of sub-standard milk, the PFA authorities today camped on the entry/exit routes of the city to check the quality of milk being provided to consumers.

The authorities warned milkmen that if next time they are found selling poor quality milk, they will be facing court cases.
