Amid the controversy over the meat consignment delivered to Bengaluru via train, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Wednesday confirmed that the lab results of the meat prove that it was from sheep.
On July 26 a large shipment of meat reached here from Jaipur in a train. Self-styled cow vigilantes claimed it was dog meat. Following this samples of animal meat found in the parcels were collected and sent to the CAR-National Meat Research Institute in Hyderabad for lab analysis.
Sharing the lab report of the meat analysis on X (formerly Twitter), Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao wrote, “Following recent media reports alleging the transportation of mutton and other animal meat from Rajasthan to Bengaluru via train, we committed to thoroughly investigating this matter through scientific verification. To ensure accuracy, we sent a total of 84 parcels to the ICAR-National Meat Research Institute in Hyderabad for rigorous lab analysis.”

“After meticulous testing, the lab results have conclusively confirmed that the meat in question originates from sheep. This finding lays to rest any speculation or misinformation surrounding the issue.
Now that the truth has been established, I urge the public to refrain from spreading unsubstantiated rumors and to rely solely on official reports for verification. Let us work together to maintain a well-informed and responsible community. Your cooperation is essential in preventing the spread of misinformation,” the post read.
