In response to the video, Amul issued a clarification and said the video is fake and it is misleading the customers. “This is for your kind information that a fake message is being forwarded on WhatsApp and social media platforms regarding the inferior quality of Amul Lassi. The creator of the video has not contacted us for clarification, nor the location has been disclosed. Amul Lassi undergoes strict quality checks for product quality and integrity of packaging,” reads the Amul statement.
It further said that “the packs are damaged from the straw hole area. It can also be seen in the video that liquid is leaking from the hole. The fungus development in these packs is due to this hole, which the maker of the video is most probably aware of.”
Amul said that they always advise customers not to purchase puffed or leaky packs.
