I wonder, why news of the following kind does not get motion or lose continuation and follow up and why after a period of time it is forgotten? Do we not even get to know that, the problems have been removed from the products or the contaminated products have been pulled back from the market, or it might happen that 'nothing happened' after this report, we could even ask to know that piece of information, can't we?


Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) in a recent test found that the samples of 10 ghee brands and a butter oil brand, all certified by the BSTI itself, are adulterated.

Consumers' Association of Bangladesh (CAB) leaders, who sent the samples to BSTI, disclosed it at a press conference at the CAB conference hall in the capital's Segun Bagicha. The CAB leaders said they sent the samples of ghee of 12 and butter oil of two brands to the BSTI laboratory on September 29 and received the test results on November 4, which said 10 samples of the 12 ghee brands and one of the two butter oil brands were adulterated.

The 10 ghee brands are New Baghabari Company, Mirza Mubashwer and Company, Baghabari Pure Gawa Ghee Co, MMH Multi Chemi Ltd, Square Consumer Products, Anil Ghosh's Baghabari Special, Jewel Food Products Ltd, SK Ghosh, Janani Special Gawa Ghee, and Bhai Bhai Food Products Ltd.

The BSTI test conducted under 10 parameters found the samples of ghee of state-owned Bangladesh Milk Producers Cooperative Union Ltd and Brac Dairy and Food safe for consumption. The samples of 10 other brands were found imperfect in two to five parameters.
