Sikkim Milk Union Addresses Viral Video of Curdled Milk, Assures Quality Standards ; ‘bacteria’ cited reason behind it
A recent video showing curdled milk allegedly from Sikkim Milk Union has been widely shared on social media, prompting the organization to issue a clarification. The milk in question was confirmed to be produced and packaged at their Regional Office in Karfectar, Jorethang, South Sikkim.
The Union clarified that the milk had surpassed its “Use By” date, a critical factor in its spoilage. Pasteurized milk, while safe within its shelf life, can spoil due to residual psychrotrophic and thermoduric bacteria that survive processing or enter post-pasteurization. These microbes produce enzymes that degrade milk proteins and fats, leading to curdling—especially when heated. Improper storage, such as exposure to higher temperatures, can also accelerate spoilage before the expiration date.
Sikkim Milk Union emphasized that their products remain safe for consumption if consumed before the “Use By” date and stored correctly. They urged consumers to always check manufacturing and expiry dates when purchasing dairy items.
Reaffirming their commitment to farmer prosperity and consumer satisfaction, the Union assured the public of their stringent quality control measures. They discouraged unnecessary panic, reiterating their dedication to providing safe, high-quality dairy products.
