Adulteration is common these days and the authorities are not taking necessary actions to prevent it. According to the latest reports, Milma Milk contains reconstituted skimmed milk powder. Milma milk sachets which come with the description "Fresh & Pure" do not contain fresh milk anymore. Therefore, Kerala High Court has asked Milma to remove the description 'Fresh and Pure' from its sachets and to indicate on the packet that it contains skimmed milk powder. However, it is a fact to ponder upon whether this can really act as a solution to the problem. Adulteration, if not now, can lead to serious health issues in the future. Such issues have occurred in prior years too. In the 2008 Chinese milk scandal, where higher protein content was reported along with the presence of melamine adulterant in Sanlu infant formula, due to which thousands became ill, and some children died, after consuming the product. Also, in August 2013,botulism-causing bacteria was detected in whey-protein in milk powder imports from New Zealand. Therefore, we can't really predict whether not taking actions at the right time can make this similar to ENDOSULFAN in future. In order to avoid such incidents from happening in Kerala, it would be better if the authorities took action to ban Milma, so that thousands of lives would be saved.
