LAHORE: The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) carried out a grand operation against business owners involved in milk adulteration on Sunday.
The dairy safety teams (DSTs) disposed of 850 litres of tainted milk in Taxali gate area, Lahore.
A total of 5,250 litres of milk was inspected by PFA at 15 milk shops. Warning notices were served to eight shops over poor quality milk.
