Owing to its low price and fairly good quality, Aavin milk has high patronage in Tamil Nadu. The brand offers 4 different variants depicted by the colour of the milk packets viz Orange, Green, Purple, Blue, etc.

In a shocking incident in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, consumers found worms floating in the Delite (purple) variant in the milk packet of the brand. This has left homemakers in deep distress.

This instance is said to have occurred in Lourdusamy, who hails from Kangankulam village, Kovilpatti in the Thoothukudi district, home. As usual, he bought a packet of Aavin Delite milk from the local outlet. When his wife poured the contents into a vessel to boil, they found a worm floating in the milk. They recorded it as a video and shared it among their social media circles.

Lourdusamy’s wife Kavita says, “We lost interest in consuming milk now. So many poor people are using this brand. How can they drink it if the quality is such?” She also added that they have been consuming Aavin milk for the past 15 years and there was no issue so far with the milk. But the occurrence of worms had been seen for the past 3-4 days in the milk. She also added that her son suffered from stomach ache which they had assumed to be because of contaminated water but it turned out to be because of the worms in the milk.

She further said, “Since the price is less, several strata of the society consume this milk – be it elders, young ones, or anyone else. If it is like this, how can we buy milk again? I request the TN government to provide us with good quality milk.”

News Tamil 24×7 spoke to the General Manager of Aavin, Rajkumar, he refuted the claims that there were worms in the milk packet and said it was impossible that such a thing happened. He also said that the officials were analysing the milk packets and they did not find any such worms in the packets.

Rajkumar added that if the milk is not maintained at the proper temperature, it is possible that worms can be found. He also said that he did not receive any complaints in this regard from anyone else and that agents were providing fresh milk packets to the consumers.

The same Delite variant was in the news recently for the discrepancy in the fat content in the milk compared to that listed on the cover.
