Toxic additives in milk raise alarm over public health risks

Kathmandu, June 8

Milk is regarded not only as a food item but also as an unquestionable source of purity, strength, and nutrition. Every day, children and elderly people alike are confidently given a glass of milk, believing it to be a complete and healthy food. Milk is consumed extensively not only in households but also in small tea shops, large cafés, and star-rated hotels. However, recent reports from government agencies and laboratory tests suggest that a “slow poison” may be entering our kitchens through milk.
