Tamil Nadu Dairy Development Minister K.T. Rajenthra Bhalaji on alleged that the milk powder supplied by Nestle and Reliance in the State contained chemicals like caustic soda and bleaching powder.
Mr Bhalaji claimed that bad milk supplied by private companies in Tamil Nadu could cause several diseases, including cancer.
Such adulterated products could cause problems in the kidney, liver and heart, besides leading to ulcers and diabetes.
“When we tested samples at the Aavin laboratory in Madhavaram, no one believed us. We sent the samples to the Pune lab, which refused to test our samples but leaked information to the media. Therefore, we have indirectly tested the samples in a Central government-certified lab in Chennai,” the Minister said.
