\n A recent incident where a consumer claimed an Amul ghee packet contained Dalda has ignited public concern about product authenticity and the prevalence of counterfeit goods in the market.\n

The Ghee Controversy

A concerning video has surfaced online, alleging that a packet of Amul Pure Ghee, purchased through a quick-commerce platform, was in fact Dalda vanaspati.

The footage captures the product being heated, melting into a clear liquid, which the consumer asserts is indicative of adulteration and not characteristic of genuine desi ghee. The woman recording the video expressed her distress, explaining she had ordered the ghee in an emergency for guests and was dismayed by what she perceived as a fraudulent product. She directly accused the contents of being 'pure Dalda' and lamented the potential harm caused by such deceptive practices, questioning the morality of those involved in supplying such substandard goods. Her claims have intensified scrutiny on the quality assurance processes of online delivery services and the broader issue of adulterated products available to consumers.

Online Reactions Mount

The viral video has triggered a strong backlash from internet users, with many voicing their frustration and disbelief. The comments section is flooded with sentiments reflecting a general distrust in the purity of common food items like ghee and paneer, with some suggesting that homemade alternatives are the only reliable source of genuine products. One particularly insightful comment highlighted the economic disparity between the cost of milk and the market price of ghee, questioning the feasibility of genuine ghee being sold at such low prices. This user argued that producing one litre of ghee requires a substantial amount of milk, making the low market price suspicious. Another user pointed to the existence of duplicate manufacturing units and urged the brand to implement random quality checks to safeguard its reputation, while also questioning the efficacy of regulatory bodies in preventing such occurrences. The overwhelming sentiment is one of anger and concern over the widespread availability of counterfeit goods that put consumers' health at risk.

Enforcement Actions

In light of such concerns, authorities have been actively conducting raids to curb adulteration, particularly in the lead-up to festive seasons. Recently, in Kanpur, a significant operation resulted in the seizure of substantial quantities of expired dates, fake ghee, and adulterated oil. Acting on credible intelligence, officials raided a warehouse and discovered approximately 10,000 kg of dates that had reportedly expired in 2022-23. The seized stock, valued at around Rs 50 lakh, was allegedly being repackaged for resale. Food safety officials collected samples for laboratory analysis, with legal action pending the test results. In parallel operations, authorities also confiscated over 13,972 litres of adulterated oil and goods from a facility involved in the production of counterfeit ghee in the Kalyanpur area, underscoring the ongoing challenges in maintaining food safety standards.
