After stories of adulteration of Milk in the plastic packet i switched to tetra packs which cost me more, but always thought is safe & healthy. However i recently got Amul Taaza tetra pack from one of the shopkeepers in my locality (usually I buy from him). I was surprised and shocked to see that the milk tetra pack contained water inside. (See attached picture). If tetra packs have such a quality control in place, i can imagine how safe tetra packs are. Is there any authority in this country, who can ensure that people can atlest get some proper milk to drink. The purpose of tetra pack is to ensure, there is no scope adulteration. When i got back to the shopkeeper, to get the pack exchanged, he said there have been couple of similar complaints few days back.
Here are the details of the pack that contained water. Can someone please check , take some action & get back to me please.
Product: Amul Taaza Tetra pack, Batch No. GAK0081, Date of Manufacture: 8.1.2011, date i opened the pack was 27.02.11. The pack clearly says "Before before 6 months from the Manufacture date (when sealed).

AMUL MILK — higher price than MRP
Dear Concerned,A milk distributer in Powai maned as "Powai Sweets and Milk Centre"
Add: Powai Milk Centre, Opp IIT maingate, Powai, Mumbai.
They have been charging us more than MRP on each milk 1/2 litre pouch. The price in 12.50 whereas he takes 14 for each. The amount maybe be minimal but the act is cheating consumers. I did mention this to the shopkeeper but he reluctantly replied tht the milk prices have increased so he's selling higher than MRP. But these actions are illegal to sell beyong printed MRP.
Kindly see to it and address the action taken against such people.
Rgds,
