Startup Name : AnandSagar natural Dairy Farm Pvt. Ltd.
According to the reports in the literature demand for commercially processed liquid milk is affected negatively because the availability of pure and safe liquid milk from a reliable source is low in state like Bihar, West Bengal and Odhisha. Research(NDRI) shows that almost all of the milk samples, both raw and processed (both pasteurized and Ultra High Temperature (UHT)), are adulterated in many different ways, such as mixing water, cane sugar, powdered milk, starch, detergent, formalin or sodium bicarbonate, and are highly contaminated with focal organisms. Furthermore, since marketers have been supplying adulterated milk to meet the excess demand, regrettably, consumers are confused and they have less scope to believe that this commercially processed liquid milk is safe and fresh.
