Which things are being adulterated?
According to reports, there are reports of chemicals being added to milk which are extremely dangerous for the body. Actually, fake milk is being made using these chemicals. Many chemicals are also being added to the chemical milk along with urea and detergent. It is said that apart from urea, caustic soda, maltrodextrin etc. are also added to milk. Along with this, hydrogen peroxide and formalin are added to increase the fat content in milk.
Along with this, starch is now added to correct the taste spoiled due to ammonia and urea. Due to this, the taste of adulterated milk cannot be detected. The special thing is that it has become very difficult to identify adulterated milk without machines and lab tests.
