Tirupati laddus controversy: Definition of 'beef tallow' as claimed by Chandrababu Naidu's TDP

The issue arises from the alleged utilization of beef tallow, a material produced from rendered fat obtained from beef segments such as rump roast, ribs, and steaks.

A significant dispute emerged in Andhra Pradesh following the assertion by the ruling Telugu Desam Party that "beef tallow," "lard" (pig fat-related), and fish oil were present in the ghee utilized for creating the laddus (sweets) at Tirupati temple.


Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu, accused the previous YSRCP government led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of using "animal fat" instead of ghee in the laddus offered at Tirupati shrine. TDP spokesperson Anam Venkata Ramana Reddy presented the lab report during a press conference, asserting that it confirmed the presence of "beef tallow" in the ghee sample provided by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). "The lab analysis indicated the utilization of beef tallow, animal fat (lard), and fish oil in the production of the ghee distributed to Tirumala, with an S value of 19.7," he stated.
