Packed milk a threat to masses

LAHORE - Even packed milk of known brands is not safe for humans as it contains one or more hazardous chemicals, drugs or residue of antibiotics, reveals a study carried out by University of Animal and Veterinary Sciences.

Researchers of UVAS took samples of ten known brands of milk from the City and examined them at Quality Operation Laboratory of the university. The researchers found Aflatoxin in packets of nine brands (90 per cent), Chloramphenicol in five (50 per cent), Sulfa Drugs in four (40 per cent), Ampicillin in three (30 per cent) and Tetracycline in packs of two companies (20 per cent).
