The certificates said that the milk samples of these companies were tested between July 18 and 26 and they were found to be sub-standard under Section 3(1) (zx) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. They did not conform to the standards laid down in table under Regulation No.2.1.1:1 of the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011 as they showed fat content below the minimum prescribed limit. On July 10 last, the court had restrained the Minister from making allegations against the three private milk manufacturers without documentary proof.
The judge adjourned the matter to August 1.
