Amul Denies Curd Contamination Allegations in Indian Railways Supply

Amul, a major Indian dairy company, has denied allegations of contamination in its curd products supplied to the Vande Bharat train service. The controversy emerged after reports claimed that insects were found in the curd supplied by Amul on the train. Amul has strongly refuted these claims, stating that its production facilities adhere to stringent quality control measures.

The company highlighted its commitment to maintaining high standards of hygiene and safety in all its dairy processing operations. Amul officials assured that all products undergo rigorous testing before being distributed to any clients, including Indian Railways. The company is cooperating with authorities to investigate the source of the claims and ensure the integrity of its supply chain.

This incident has brought attention to the importance of food safety in large-scale public service contracts, especially those involving perishable goods like dairy products. The Vande Bharat train service, which has been operational since its launch, relies on suppliers like Amul to provide high-quality food items for passengers.

The Indian Railways has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident. However, they are expected to conduct their own investigation to verify the claims and assess the quality assurance practices of their suppliers.
