Cow fat and fish oil have been found to be added to the laddoos offered as prasad to devotees at the Tirupati temple in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had accused the previous YSR Congress (YSRCP) government of using animal fat and substandard ingredients in Tirupati’s laddoos.
Now, a private laboratory that focuses on testing animal feed, milk and dairy products has revealed that samples of the ghee used to make laddus in Tirupati have been found to contain animal fat, apart from palm oil. Contains oils, fish oil, beef and lard.
