“Video showing the process of milk adulteration.”
What FACTLY found
The video shows mixing of Turkey red oil/ mineral oil with water to get a white solution called Phenyl emulsifier/cutting oil. Phenyl emulsifier is used in making white phenyls, whereas cutting oil is used as lubricant and coolant for machines. There are no reports to suggest that these fluids are used in milk adulteration in India. According to FSSAI, most common substances found in adulterated milk are water, antibiotics, pesticides, aflatoxin M1 etc
