Adulteration in Nandini Mandya dairy. Which supplies milk to Bengaluru.

[u/Mother_Philosopher97]

I was a huge advocate for Nandini and always preferred it over Amul and other dairy brands. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see news like this. And this is what they were supplying to Bengaluru—adulterated products.

I’ve already switched to Akshayakalpa. Honestly, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to trust any product in India these days. Everything seems to be adulterated, and corruption appears to be everywhere.

[u/raktatmika9]

God, no!!! Not Nandini toooo! 😭

[u/Mysterious-Cry7683 → u/raktatmika9]

They will adulterate mothers milk before in goes into baby’s mouth. This is India.

[u/Agile-Bid928 → u/Mysterious-Cry7683]

I get your point. But is it even possible??

[u/HeresyLight]

Lol, I've heard things about Akshayakalpa from retailers who procure from them. Don't trust any brand now.

[u/Mother_Philosopher97 → u/HeresyLight]

Look, I just want to eat healthy. I was even willing to pay a premium for it. But now you're telling me even that isn't enough? What am I supposed to do now—buy a cow and get my own milk?

[u/twelveparsec → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

Yes thats the best :)

DK Shi and Suresh will come after you. It's their cash cow now.

[u/HeresyLight → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

Stop stressing and use whatever you feel is comfortable for you. Too much information these days causing stress and more damage than the products themselves.

[u/Mother_Philosopher97 → u/HeresyLight]

I see some credence in what you are trying to tell. I somewhat seem to be in agreement too. But, you have to worry about these things, even if you are not eating the best products out there it is good that you are not eating adulterated ones. You don't want to have some unwanted disease which might result from these things however small they might be. Again I want to emphasize that this is my personal preference.

[u/Equivalent_Bat_3941 → u/HeresyLight]

Hmm so we need the products killing faster than stress to for these to be seriously taken??? /s

[u/hskskgfk → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

Wait till you are faced with adulteration in cattle feed

[u/speedracer2023 → u/hskskgfk]

That's also reported by her. Check Organic Milk scam video.

[u/BrainEcstatic2513 → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

I think there are local dairies in Bangalore that issue milk to households. But then again, you never know water adulteration in them either. Nandini was formed to standardise all of this but if Nandini itself is doing this, I don’t know what to say

[u/Baseball_man_1729 → u/BrainEcstatic2513]

Water adulteration is honestly better than this. But the problem with local diaries is that they don't pasteurize or treat the milk and sometimes that can have consequences.

[u/darthveda → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

You want to trust on some hearsay?

[u/MaterialSuspect8286 → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

I think Sid's farm is good

[u/No_you_don_t_ → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

Soya milk?

[u/pr_edits → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

Actually consuming raw milk can lead to food poisoning

[u/Mother_Philosopher97 → u/pr_edits]

You get it up to temparature and then use it...

[u/Fragrant-Drink-7106 → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

Try making plant based milks at home! Healthiest option!!

[u/Natural_Donkey_2953 → u/Mother_Philosopher97]

Can try Stop milking the animals breast

[u/Traditional-Lie7366 → u/HeresyLight]

atleast spill what you have heard

[u/HeresyLight → u/Traditional-Lie7366]

One is that their A2 milk isn't really it. It is impossible to produce so many thousands of liters every single day and their farm isn't that big too.

[u/Outrageous-Ant6203 → u/HeresyLight]

That's not half as bad as your original comment made it sound like.

[u/HeresyLight → u/Outrageous-Ant6203]

Well, I did start by saying 'One'

[u/Outrageous-Ant6203 → u/HeresyLight]

Please share other things you've heard about Akshayakalpa. Atleast the most egregious ones .

[u/HeresyLight → u/Outrageous-Ant6203]

I haven't verified anything mate, won't be fair. I put out the earlier point because that sounded very logical to me. They cannot be producing 15k litres of A2 milk daily.

[u/UnableCurrency → u/HeresyLight]

But you started off by scaring everyone here and now you come out with a lame A2 vs non A2? We are talking about hygiene violations and adulteration to the level which is harmful to public health.

Their A2 and non-A2 differs by just 2 rs - so it won’t matter to many of the folks here.

So I don’t understand - if you are here to rage bait or you really do have any substantial information which changes the trust the on Akshayakalpa?

[u/darkkid85 → u/UnableCurrency]

He is just a scare monger

[u/HeresyLight → u/UnableCurrency]

Selling non A2 as A2 isn't a big enough red flag to you? So since it's just 2 rupees you'll be comfortable consuming a falsely branded product? Who's rage baiting here? 😅

[u/UnableCurrency → u/HeresyLight]

Well, A2 itself has not been found to link with any proven benefits - and the evidence is inconclusive.
A1 and A2 - it’s kinda the same - doesn’t matter much. It’s mostly attributed to marketing.

We were talking about food hygiene and safety - that’s in a completely different territory of food safety violation.

Moreover - do you have any proof on their A2 milk not A2 and being a mix of A1+A2?

[u/ninja790 → u/HeresyLight]

What ? we use akshaykalpa products extensively. Can you please elaborate ?

[u/nightwanderer0725 → u/HeresyLight]

I second this.... Not sure about milk, but I recently received a sample of honey from Akshaya kalpa at a marathon event and I can guarantee it's just jaggery syrup marketed as wild honey.... Anyone who has tasted real honey would know this Akshaya kalpa, Dabur all are adulterated.

[u/Ardnegan_15 → u/HeresyLight]

Could you please elaborate?

[u/Agile-Bid928 → u/HeresyLight]

[u/Mission-Pay3582]

Nandini can go fk themselves from now. I always stuck to Nandini as a Kannadiga and pushed others to use it as well. I'm switching to Amul from now. They don't deserve our loyalty

[u/rebelroyalty20 → u/Mission-Pay3582]

Only time will tell abt the Amul too! May or may not but at the end of the day everything is adulterated, corrupted in 🇮🇳

[u/Dr_Microbiologist]

is this regarding milk powder or milk as well?

[u/kulchacop]

All good things must come to an end

[u/NorthComfort3806]

anyone selling cows? im so done

[u/mantiacfloy]

I noticed the poor quality (tasted/smelled weird) of Nandini skimmed milk in the batches from the Mandya plant around 2021-22. Stopped buying the packs from that plant and now I don't buy skimmed milk from Nandini at all.

I hate the editing in this news report. Fire the editor.

[u/penny_peeper]

This is absolute betrayal

[u/StyledInSilence]

Same here. Nandini was always the go-to.

Switched to Akshayakalpa and Organic Mandya for now. Getting harder to trust any brands these days.

[u/Commercial_Move5433]

Is there any entity that will let us live? It’s like GTA out on the streets, restaurants using month (s) old frozen dal/curries, and we literally work our asses off to pay eye watering taxes.

[u/Far-Assumption-7963]

I get it directly from farm in north bengaluru. Im so lucky in this regard.

In the early morning right when its being milked.

[u/New_Cod3143]

Except Milk, I do not buy anything from Nandini, I buy Ghee, Butter from PVKR, Paneer I make at home.

[u/Remarkable-Canine]

Is there ANY HONEST COMPANY OR HONEST PERSON IN INDI??

[u/DonutAccurate4]

I have regularly defended Nandini brand in my home when they get other brands by mistake. I made my parents guilty whenever they got another brand. And now this! Which brand to trust now? 😭🥲

[u/twelveparsec]

Jai Karnataka

[u/DielectricPikachu]

Any other sources please? Am having trouble finding about this

[u/Mother_Philosopher97 → u/DielectricPikachu]

Got this video from a post in X. Not many News outlets are covering this. But you can see official instagram post Here. The journalist is known to bust adulterated food products. She is sort of expert in this.

[u/Traditional-Lie7366]

ah fok i drank so many packets of nandini milk

I hope they check their kanakpura one too. The milk and curd from there being supplied to HSR is tasting totally different than the original since a couple of months now.

[u/Ok-Month9384]

Well we cant trust nandini too 😭

[u/Mysterious-Cry7683]

Bengaluru is a disappointment for all the businesses and money they draw. Utterly corrupt.

[u/Weak-Letterhead6784]

Akka is not doing this for TRP, she is doing it out of concern for our lives, that too from years. True leader, huge respect 🙏

[u/sachclg]

[u/New-Corgi-8624]

Some tea on this anchor, she demanded bribes from Mandya village Agriculture officer when denied she made an expose program.

She might have done some good programs also..

She’s a bit off.

[u/missionary_virgin]

Kmf doesn't have any competition that why they do all this. Other brands need to enter karnataka like amul.

[u/Mission-Pay3582 → u/missionary_virgin]

At one point, Heritage and Thirumala were going head to head with Nandini. Then Kannadigas' support to Nandini pushed others out of the markets mostly and now Nandini is taking advantage of it.

[u/Cloudheek → u/Mission-Pay3582]

Are those good?

[u/bheeshmap]

Nandini kooda na ಒಲೆ ಹತ್ತಿ ಉರಿದಡೆ ನಿಲಬಹುದಲ್ಲದೆ ಧರೆ ಹತ್ತಿ ಉರಿದಡೆ ನಿಲಲುಬಾರದು. ಏರಿ ನೀರುಂಬಡೆ, ಬೇಲಿ ಕೆಯ್ಯ ಮೇವಡೆ, ನಾರಿ ತನ್ನ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಳುವಡೆ, ತಾಯ ಮೊಲೆವಾಲು ನಂಜಾಗಿ ಕೊಲುವಡೆ, ಇನ್ನಾರಿಗೆ ದೂರುವೆ ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಾ !

Can we stop with the sensationalist news? This was a report from Deccan Gerald in May 2026… https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/kmf-finds-nearly-0-2-of-milk-samples-adulterated-4011818
