'Animal fat' in Tirupati laddus: Supplier of ghee to Balaji temple and reasons for Nandini's withdrawal 


Tirupati laddus controversy: Health minister JP Nadda requested a report from the Andhra Pradesh government and pledged appropriate action upon review. 


The Tirupati laddus controversy has escalated into a significant political debate, with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams supporting Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's statement regarding the presence of animal fat in the renowned 'prasadam'. In contrast, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of the YSRCP criticized the allegations as "outrageous". 


Amid mounting concerns over the Tirupati laddus issue, the Central government intervened on Friday, as Union Health Minister JP Nadda sought a report from the Andhra Pradesh government and assured suitable action following a thorough assessment. The Food Minister, Pralhad Joshi, has requested an inquiry into the accusations. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams stated at a press conference in Tirupati that lab tests indicated the presence of animal fat, specifically 'Lard' (pig fat), and other impurities. The executive officer, J Shyamala Rao, mentioned that the board is currently in the process of blacklisting the contractor responsible for supplying 'adulterated' ghee. This statement from TTD follows a lab report presented by the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supporting N Chandrababu Naidu's claim of animal fat being used in Tirupati laddus during the previous YSRCP government. Shyamala Rao further stated that the legal process will commence, highlighting that the suppliers exploited the absence of an in-house testing facility, leading to compromised quality due to the practice of sending samples to external labs at unfeasible rates. He pointed out that suppliers exploited these shortcomings by providing ghee priced between ₹320 and ₹411, deeming this price range unsuitable for delivering pure cow ghee. Despite prior warnings, four ghee tankers from AR Foods were initially found to be of inferior quality. Rao stated that the S-value analysis performed on the sample sent to the reputable NDDB CALF in Anand showed results beyond the standard thresholds, indicating the potential presence of foreign fats like soya bean, sunflower, palm kernel fat, lard, and beef tallow.
