Ludhiana, March 31 -- The health department lodged cases against 25 vendors last year after their milk samples were found substandard.

The department took 243 milk samples, of which 64 failed the test. The department is in the process to lodge cases against the others with failed samples.

After the samples are found to fail the test, the department lodges legal proceedings against the vendor in the ADC court.

Food safety officer Yogesh said that these samples were taken from dairies and eateries across the district.

The food safety officer said that in case of milk products the samples are also found unfit for human consumption if it has starch or other products added into it. The punishment for those cases is more stringent.
