Milk major Amul said that a video claiming fungus in some packs of Amul Lassi is “fake”. In the video, circulating in social media, the creator claims the he found fungus in some Amul Lassi packs even though they were before the expiry date. Amul said the video has been used to create misinformation and spread unnecessary fear and concern among consumers. “We notice in the video that the packs are damaged from the straw hole area. It can also be seen in the video that liquid is leaking from this hole. The fungus development in these packs are due to this hole which the maker of the video is most probably aware of,” Amul said in tweet. “This is for your kind information that a fake message is being forwarded on Whatsapp and Social Media platforms regarding inferior quality of Amul Lassi. The creator of the video has not contacted us for clarification, nor the location has been disclosed,” the Gujarat-headquartered company said in a tweet. — Amul_Coop (@Amul_Coop) “We wish to assure you that Amul Lassi is made at our state-of-the-art dairies and undergo strict quality checks for product quality and integrity of packaging.
