What’s the Reality Behind Viral ‘Dirty Milk’ Claims on Internet

Feb 17, 2026, 11:04 IST

In February 2026, someone did the most basic thing possible: they bought milk and ice cream from regular stores and sent it to a lab. What came back was disturbing. Popular pouch milk brands crossed bacterial limits by up to 98 times. Meanwhile, the same brands in tetra packs were nearly sterile. Then came the “guilt-free” ice creams: Calories doubled. Sugar multiplied. Labels lied. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: you were safe only because Indian households boil milk by default. That’s not a safety system. That’s luck. In a country where heat, storage failures, and last-mile handling are ignored, your milk can turn unsafe in hours. Boil pouch milk. Trust labels less. And ask why basic food safety needs a lab test to expose it.#amulmilk #coliformbacteria #coliformmilk #motherdairy #countrydelight Welcome to Indiatimes Youtube channel.Your go-to source for news that matters.
