India’s Paneer & Cheese Economy Is Booming — But Can We Trust What We’re Eating?

India's Paneer & Cheese Economy

The Problem: Adulteration Is Rampant — and Dangerous

India is seeing an alarming rise in milk and paneer adulteration, especially during peak demand seasons like festivals and weddings.

  • Fake paneer made from starch, synthetic milk, or detergent-based solids
  • Diluted or urea-laced milk sold in bulk to small hotels or vendors
  • No cold chain, leading to microbial spoilage
  • ❌ Lack of breed traceability or health monitoring of milk-producing animals

According to FSSAI, over 68% of milk in India was found non-conforming to safety standards in several state-level tests.

This isn’t just a consumer safety issue — it’s a brand risk for QSRs, a compliance nightmare for hotels, and an ethical crisis for the dairy trade.
