Shocking Findings: 60% of Russian Milk Adulterated, Investigation Reveals

Russian Milk Adulteration Scandal: Rosselkhoznadzor Investigation Reveals Widespread Falsification In a shocking revelation, Russia's Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance) has uncovered widespread adulteration of milk products across the country. The investigation revealed that manufacturers are adding substances such as chalk, gypsum, and other materials to increase the volume of milk, significantly reducing production costs. This practice poses serious health risks to consumers. According to the report, a staggering 60% of milk products tested were found to be falsified. The video shows footage of milk processing plants and laboratory tests, providing visual evidence of the adulteration. One expert interviewed stated, "This is not just a matter of economic fraud; it's a serious public health concern." The investigation also highlighted the use of cheaper vegetable oils to replace dairy fat. The investigation underscores the urgent need for stricter regulations and greater transparency within the dairy industry. Consumers are urged to be vigilant and choose reputable brands to ensure they are consuming safe and authentic products. The Rosselkhoznadzor continues its investigation, and further updates are expected in the coming weeks.
