Amid rising concerns over allegations of adulteration in the famous Tirupati laddoos, particularly claims involving animal fat, authorities at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) have taken significant steps to address the issue. A top official recently confirmed that an in-house adulteration testing machine will be installed by December or January. This machine is aimed at ensuring the quality and purity of the prasadam offered to devotees.
The issue of possible adulteration sparked a major controversy, as the laddoos are a sacred offering consumed by millions of pilgrims. Reports of impure ingredients, including animal fat, caused public outrage, forcing temple authorities to take swift action. The introduction of an advanced testing facility is a move to restore the trust of devotees and maintain the sanctity of the prasadam.
The testing machine will allow real-time quality checks of ingredients used in making the laddoos, ensuring they are free from adulterants. With this measure, the TTD hopes to silence the growing criticism and reaffirm its commitment to maintaining the highest standards in preparing offerings.
