Tirupati laddu row: Lab reports confirm lard, tallow in ghee supplied to Tirumala

Lab analysis revealed foreign fats, including animal fats, in the ghee used for Tirupati laddu prasadam during the YSRC government’s tenure. The NDDB report mentioned possible false positives due to cow feeding conditions. TTD has blacklisted the former supplier and is now procuring ghee from Karnataka Milk Federation at a higher cost.
