The PFA director general said that they checked 1,017 vehicles in Lahore, 632 in Rawalpindi and 364 in the south Punjab.

He said that 4,915 litres milk was disposed of as it found mixing urea, formalin and other unhygienic chemicals to increase the density of milk.

As per details, the quality of 1, 88,961 liters milk being transported on 1,544 vehicles was tested across the province. The milk samples for tests were taken from 769 vehicles in Lahore, 414 in Rawalpindi, 273 in Multan, and 88 in Muzaffargarh.

An official of PFA had said adulterated milk causes various diseases, adding that sale of open milk would be completely banned across the province by 2022 as only hygienic and packaged milk would be available in markets.
