The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court clears the way for 11 more companies to produce, distribute and sell pasteurised milk.

Amid concerns about the quality of the packaged and non-packaged milk available in the market, Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA) has now detected lead, a harmful heavy metal, in pasteurised milk of 11 brands.

The High Court wants to know the names and particulars of the companies and firms that are producing and supplying milk and curd in Dhaka without having any license.
