Tetra Pak Milk was promoted in Pakistan by saying that they are save from impurities and are more hygienic but after the revelations in supreme court it have become clear that they are not better than milk available at open market.
In September Barrister Zafarullah filed a petition against Tetra Pak milk companies claiming that they are not following health standards. Supreme Court ordered the inspection and chemical examination of all milk products.
