Milky Mist denies reported FSSAI inquiry into paneer samples
In short
Milky Mist denied reports that food safety officials were probing its paneer products.
The reports said the Central Food Safety Department asked Tamil Nadu’s Food Safety Department to send paneer samples for lab testing. It is not clear yet whether there is any official finding or action.
What the reporting says
Milky Mist denied reports of an FSSAI inquiry into its paneer products after a publisher summary said the Central Food Safety Department asked Tamil Nadu’s Food Safety Department to submit samples for lab testing. The company was described as a fast-growing packaged food company with more than 400 products. The immediate consequence is a public clarification, while the test results and any official action remain unknown.
Why it matters
The story centers on Milky Mist’s denial after reports of a food-safety-related sample collection request for its paneer. The publisher summaries place the issue in the dairy and packaged-food segment and note the company’s wide product range. What is still unknown is whether the lab tests were carried out, what they found, and whether any regulator has made a formal finding.
