68% of milk doesn’t meet food norms [1]

Common nutritional supplement milk you take may not be all that nutritious as majority of samples of milk supplied across the country failed to meet the food safety and standard norms.

The Centre on Tuesday dished out this startling fact about the health of milk supplied both loose or in packets and informed the apex court that 68.4% of the samples collected from rural and urban areas of all states failed food safety and standards (FSS).
