Shedding light on a critical prob­lem affecting our region, spe­cifically in Sindh—the widespread sale of artificial milk made from harmful chemicals. The unregu­lated distribution of this chemi­cal-laden milk poses severe health risks, and it’s disheartening to wit­ness the lack of oversight from the food control department. Rather than providing nourish­ment, artificial milk is linked to various diseases, including food poisoning, gastrointestinal com­plications, heart problems, cancer, and even death. It is distressing to observe that some dairy businesses use reli­giously significant names, such as “Makka Dairy,” “Madina Dairy,” “Mashallah Dairy,” or “Subhanullah Dairy,” while engaging in practices prohibited by Islamic principles. I implore the government and rel­evant authorities to take immediate and stringent action against those involved in the production and sale of artificial milk.
