Food Safety and Standards Authorities of India (FSSAI) officials in Chennai cracked down on an outlet suspected of selling human breast milk. The outlet was under observation for 10 days after receiving a complaint. While no sales were observed during the surveillance period, a surprise inspection on Friday uncovered a hidden stock of breast milk, according to reports.
Samples from the recovered bottles priced at ₹500 for 50ml, have been sent for testing. It’s important to note that the commercial sale of breast milk is strictly prohibited in India. The FSSAI issued an advisory last week clarifying that processing and selling human milk violates the FSS Act, 2006.
