In a significant operation demonstrating Punjab's commitment to public safety, the Punjab Food Authority (PFA) conducted a successful raid on Sunday, uncovering an illegal milk production facility in Bhera that was manufacturing and distributing contaminated dairy products.

Contaminated Milk Operation Dismantled

The raid, which aligns with Pakistan's ongoing efforts to protect public health, resulted in the immediate shutdown of the facility and the seizure of a distribution vehicle. Laboratory testing conducted on-site confirmed the presence of illegal additives, including sugar and dry powder in the milk products.

Swift Action Against Perpetrators

Law enforcement officials took prompt action, leading to:

  • Immediate arrest of the suspects involved in the operation
  • Filing of formal charges by PFA officials
  • Destruction of over 40 kilograms of adulterated milk
  • Impounding of the distribution vehicle

Public Health Protection Measures

This operation reflects Pakistan's commitment to maintaining high food safety standards across all sectors. The PFA spokesperson emphasized the severe health risks posed by such illegal operations and urged citizens to remain vigilant.

Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious food-related activities through our dedicated helpline at 1223. Your vigilance helps us ensure the safety of our food supply chain.

The authority continues its systematic crackdown on food adulteration across the region, demonstrating zero tolerance for those compromising public health through fraudulent food production practices.
