Why we must check before we buy paneer

Do you have a block of paneer as your daily dose of protein? Perhaps you will when you learn that the Pune police and the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration have busted a racket that manufactured fake or adulterated paneer using cheaper quality raw material. The issue of analogue cheese or fake paneer manufactured with milk powder, vegetable fat and emulsifiers, and sold as original milk-based paneer was also raised in the Maharashtra legislature in its ongoing budget session. On February 7, a team from the Pune police crime branch and the FDA raided a godown at Maniknagar in the city’s Manjari Khurd locality and seized 1,400 kg paneer, which was being manufactured using skimmed milk powder and palm oil. “This paneer was being manufactured using cheaper alternatives to milk like skimmed milk powder and palm oil,” the officer says, adding there were instances of more such units in Mumbai supplying adulterated or fake paneer to dairies and shops elsewhere in the state, such as in Pimpri-Chinchwad adjoining Pune.
