India, Lab Report Confirms Presence of Beef Fat and Fish Oil in Tirupati Laddoos
In Short:
Chandrababu Naidu blames YSRCP for using animal fat in Tirupati laddoos.
NDDB CALF lab confirms the presence of foreign fats in the ghee used for laddoos.
YSRCP dismisses Naidu's allegations as malicious and politically motivated.
A recent report from a private laboratory has revealed that the ghee used in the preparation of Tirupati laddoos contains foreign fats. The analysis found that the samples included not just the traditional dairy ghee, but also palm oil, fish oil, beef tallow, and lard. Beef tallow is a form of fat derived from cattle, while lard is obtained by rendering the fatty tissue of pigs. These findings have caused a stir, given the religious significance of the Tirupati laddoo and the strict dietary guidelines followed by many devotees.
The Tirupati laddoo, a popular offering at the Tirumala temple in Andhra Pradesh, is considered sacred by millions of Hindu devotees who visit the temple annually. The revelation has raised concerns among worshippers, many of whom adhere to strict vegetarian diets and view the use of animal products like beef and lard as violations of their religious beliefs.
Temple authorities have not yet issued an official statement addressing the lab report's findings. The report has sparked calls for an in-depth investigation to ensure the authenticity and purity of the ingredients used in this sacred offering. Authorities are expected to address these concerns to maintain the trust and faith of devotees.
