Eid Alert: Spot Adulterated Milk at Home! Easy Tests to Protect Your Family

• FSDA warns against adulterated milk during Eid-ul-Fitr and Navratri due to increased demand.
• Synthetic milk, often mixed with starch, urea, or detergent, can severely harm health.
• Iodine Test: Add tincture iodine to milk; a blue color indicates starch or chalk adulteration.
• Slope Test: Drip milk on a tilted surface; pure milk leaves a white trail, while adulterated milk flows quickly without a trace.
• Deputy Commissioner B.S. Bisht urges consumers to test milk at home to ensure festive joy isn't marred by health risks.
