Hence, to know the activity, the present study aimed at knowing adulteration in 5 selected local vendors and food samples selected were Milk, Curd, Buttermilk, Butter and Ghee. The adulteration observed mostly in Milk, Curd, and Buttermilk and Butter and Ghee were adulterated with certain vendors in most of Milk and Curd the water content is more, but in few samples urea and starch was also observed .Thus, the study clearly brought the fact that foods from local vendors had adulterated samples.
