For the last few days, I am buying milk packets with manufacturing dates in advance. Packets available in the market have manufacturing dates varying from the last few days to a day or so ahead. Today I bought a milk packet that has a manufacturing date of tomorrow. I would like to know why such blunders are happening in the system of a well-reputed nationwide serving company. The only thing this points onto is that the manufacturing and supplying divisions of the company are no longer functional and are committing fraud.
I looked into this and found that such actions are taken to increase the shelf life of the product. This kind of activity though should not be tolerated in any kind of industry but especially in the food industry and more so in dairy industry it not tolerable at all. Since milk is an easily perishable product and an absolute necessity to young children, such kind of discrepancies are a major risk to the health of children and those with weaker immunity.

Milk is an important commodity and must be supplied in a proper way for the good health and prosperity of society. This incident can be lodged as a formal complaint under the FSAA and Packaged Commodities Act.

I would like the food safety department and the company officials to carry out a thorough investigation and find out the depth of the problem since such issues are a serious threat to the health, well being and prosperity of society. The reports should be made public with a valid explanation of why such incidents happened in the first place and the measures taken to rectify the issue and prevent such an incident from happening in the future.
