Supreme Court Sends Milkman to Jail for Six Months for Diluting Milk 24 Years Ago - (07 Oct 2019)

FOOD ADULTERATION

Supreme Court has sent a milkman from Uttar Pradesh to jail for six months for diluting milk nearly 24 years ago, saying the accused cannot be acquitted even if the deficiency was marginal. The milk sold was found to have 4.6% milk fat and 7.7% of milk solid non-fat against the prescribed standard of 8.5% under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 after it was tested by a public analyst in November 1995.
