On 10th September 2024, FSSAI issued an advisory for special drives to check adulteration of sweet, savoury, milk and milk products, like ghee, khoya, paneer etc. During the festive season the demand for sweets and savouries, milk,  and milk products like ghee, khoya, and paneer increases, and as a result, the economic motivation to adulterate such products to meet the rising demands of the consumer also increases. The preventive actions, including carrying out special surveillance/enforcement drives by the food safety officers/designated officers, especially at hot spots of such practices under their respective jurisdictions, can be effective tools to adulterate to curb such practices while ensuring the safety of such products.
