Pakistan has forever been debating over the pros and cons of using packaged milk.
Over the past year, aย report was released byย Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) which deemed package milk as unfit for human consumption due to various harmful chemicals present.
The report stirred an outcry from regular tetra pack milk consumers and since then, Pakistanis areย forever having a hard time trusting any one brand.
Following the whole controversy,ย Punjab Food Authority (PFA) took matters into its own hands and collected the samples of UHT/Tetra Pack milk brands.
