Asoleche has condemned the addition of whey to milk and supports sanctions against four dairy companies.
The Colombian Association of Milk Processors (Asoleche) recently spoke out against the adulteration of milk following the announcement by the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (SIC) to sanction four companies in the dairy sector for adding whey to sterilized milk.
In an official statement, Asoleche emphasized their respect towards the SIC's actions, which aim to protect consumers and ensure compliance with technical regulations. They staunchly rejected any form of milk adulteration, highlighting the negative impact such practices have on the nutritional value of milk products and consumer rights.
Lactalis, one of the accused companies, responded by affirming their commitment to high technical and scientific standards and denying any wrongdoing. They argued that the SIC's decision lacks legal basis and promised to defend their practices in court.
Asoleche reassured the public that this misconduct is not widespread and reiterated the importance of dairy products in nutrition, which provide essential micronutrients. The association remains committed to promoting the development of the formal dairy sector in compliance with industry regulations.
The developments in this case have brought to light the stringent standards that the Colombian dairy industry strives to uphold, ensuring quality and integrity in their products.
