On December 16, 2025, the Food Standard Security Authority of India (FSSAI) started a special drive across the states and UTs to prevent adulteration of milk, cheese, and khoya. It is a result of increasing health risks for consumers and fake dairy products in the market. This drive has been issued under Section 16 (5) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, empowering FSSAI to implement measures in the interest of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the official sources,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Special Enforcement Drive against adulteration and misbranding of milk and milk products, including paneer and khoya, has been launched following multiple reports of unsafe, illegally manufactured dairy products posing serious public health risks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Milk and milk products are used every day in almost every household. Even a small amount of adulteration has a big impact. Artificial cheese, chemically mixed khoya or low-quality milk; these have now become a big problem. This will directly impact dairy manufacturers, wholesalers, shopkeepers, hotels, restaurants, and catering businesses. Now, it has become more important than ever to follow the rules for those involved in the food business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re in a food business, it\u2019s high time to know the measures taken by the FSSAI authority to cut down the adulteration of milk products. Getting an FSSAI license<\/strong><\/a> is not optional; it\u2019s mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
