‘Negative reports’ about Milma unfounded, says Keralam Minister Bindhu Krishna
Kerala Minister Bindhu Krishna dismissed recent negative reports regarding the quality of Milma dairy products as unfounded. The minister emphasized that the cooperative follows stringent quality control processes and launched new value-added products to meet consumer demand.
Why it matters
Public trust in state-run dairy cooperatives is essential for the stability of the local agricultural economy.
Minister for Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development Bindhu Krishna has said that Milma products are manufactured under stringent quality control processes and that “recent negative reports” about the Milk cooperative were unfounded.
“Some recent negative reports about Milma were unfounded. I personally went and verified the matter and found that all these rumours about Milma have no basis. All Milma products are manufactured under stringent quality-control processes, with multiple tests conducted to ensure that consumers get authentic and healthy products,” Milma quoted the Minister as saying in a statement.
Ms. Krishna’s remarks, an apparent reference to the recent controversy over Milma’s ghee supplies to the Sabarimala temple, came during the launch of four new products of Milma’s Thiruvananthapuram Regional Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union (TRCMPU) here on Saturday; Milma Paneer Pops in Peri-Peri and Chettinad flavours, and Milma Sweetened Yogurt and Milma Blueberry-Flavoured Yogurt.
