It is a known fact that Meghalaya faces perennial shortage of milk. But now official reports have confirmed a worse fear — there is rampant adulteration in this vital drink in the State.
In its first-ever national survey on milk adulteration, the Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) found that of the total 1,791 samples tested throughout the country including Meghalaya, at least over 68 per cent i.e. 1,226 samples were either diluted with water or mixed with harmful detergent.
