Her two school-going children, aged seven and eleven, would only take porridge with milk for their breakfast. But Sharmin, 39, is not sure if she should allow her children to take pasteurised milk anymore.
Her concerns deepened after the High Court banned production and consumption of pasteurised milk of 14 brands, on grounds that they contain harmful substances such as lead and antibiotics.
Although the Supreme Court subsequently stayed the HC order and a new government-sponsored lab test done in India found that milk of seven of these brands was safe for consumption, Sharmin still hesitates to take any risk.
