Where the claim comes from
'Mother Dairy banned' or 'Mother Dairy milk fails test' searches spiked in February 2026 after the independent tester Trustified posted results for pouch milk from Amul, Mother Dairy and Country Delight. The Mother Dairy sample was flagged for total plate count. The posts were widely reshared as if they were an FSSAI finding; they were not.
Mother Dairy, the Delhi-based dairy and Safal fruit and vegetable business of the National Dairy Development Board, has no regulatory action on record for 2024 to 2026. Checks of FSSAI's 2026 claims notices, BIS recall alerts and publicly reported recalls found no entry. Brand-level FoSCoS rows are to be re-checked from an Indian IP before launch.
What people are usually searching for is the February 2026 Trustified episode. Trustified, an independent testing outfit that publishes video results, reported in early February 2026 that a pouch of Mother Dairy cow milk showed a total plate count of 2,40,000 CFU/ml, about eight times the 30,000 CFU/ml FSSAI limit for pasteurised milk. The same round flagged coliforms in Amul pouches and a high plate count in Country Delight. Amul rejected the findings and pointed to breaks in the cold chain at retail; coverage found for this page records no Mother Dairy statement, which is flagged for verification. FSSAI did not confirm or refute the results.
A high plate count in one retail sample is a reason for a regulator to draw official samples, not proof of a factory problem, because bacteria in pasteurised milk multiply quickly once a pouch is left warm. No official sampling result has been published. Mother Dairy is not banned, not recalled and not under any notice in India as of 20 Sep 2026.
What this means for you
Nothing to act on
No Mother Dairy product has been recalled, prohibited or flagged by a regulator in the period covered.
A private test is a lead, not a verdict
Trustified bought retail packs and tested them. Plate count in milk rises fast if the cold chain breaks, so a single retail sample cannot show where the problem arose. FSSAI has not published a finding.
Keep milk cold, use it fast
Pasteurised pouch milk should be refrigerated at once and used by the date on the pack. That matters more to plate count than the brand name.
This is a record of official orders, not medical advice. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without asking your doctor or pharmacist.
Common questions
Did FSSAI find Mother Dairy milk unsafe?
No. The February 2026 figures came from a private tester. FSSAI has published no finding against Mother Dairy.
