Tech measures to boost transparency in ghee sales, TDB tells Kerala court

The Trissur Dairy Board (TDB) has assured the Kerala High Court that it will introduce scientific and technological measures to strengthen transparency and accountability in the sale of ghee, addressing concerns over quality and authenticity in the dairy sector.

In its submission to the court, the TDB outlined plans to implement advanced monitoring systems and technological solutions designed to provide greater oversight of ghee production and distribution processes. The initiative aims to build consumer confidence by ensuring clearer tracking of products from production to retail sale.

The measures are expected to include digital documentation systems and quality verification protocols that would make it easier for authorities and consumers to verify the authenticity and quality of ghee products in the market. The TDB's commitment reflects growing concerns about maintaining transparency in the dairy sector.

The court's intervention on the matter underscores the importance of regulatory oversight in ensuring that dairy products meet quality standards and consumer expectations. The implementation of these technological safeguards is intended to prevent adulteration and improve traceability across the supply chain.
