The FDA in Maharashtra has started a big operation against milk sellers in Beed.
This happened after videos showed sellers opening sealed milk packets and putting the milk into big cans to sell as fresh.

They seized and destroyed about 200 milk pouches and took samples for testing.
The FDA said they will take strict action against anyone breaking the rules to keep people safe.
