MULTAN, Nov 25 (APP):Punjab Food Authority (PFA) discarded over 750 litres of substandard milk on Multan Road after setting up a picket.
An official spokesman said the authority had foiled an attempt to supply the huge quantity of adulterated milk to unidentified locations.
A fine worth Rs 15,000 was imposed on the supplier whose identity could not be ascertained, according to a statement issued on Tuesday.
During testing, a substantial shortage of natural fats and nutrients was detected in the milk.
The consignment was reportedly meant for groceries, milk shops and tea hotels in different parts of the district.
