The fake packaging of Amul Butter

Dairy brand Amul recently landed in controversy about the quality of its butter being circulated in India. Having been founded in 1946, it is one of the oldest players in the Indian market. The brand landed in controversy when a video began to be circulated on Whatsapp, where one can see the new packaging of the Amul Butter which is being packed in China. Apparently, this video is being circulated by some individuals in Srinagar. However, the brand has come out in open about the packaging news and issued a public notice denying the same. The dairy company has requested not to pay any heed to this news as it is completely baseless and fake. (Images courtesy: Canva)

We wish to inform you, both packets of Amul Butter shown in the video are genuine and manufactured in India by Amul.” The brand clarified that “The video clipping shows a comparison between the earlier pack and new pack of Amul Butter and has been used to create misinformation and spread fear and concern among consumers.” (Image courtesy: Instagram/@amul_india)

The comments

Many people have commented on the post and are thanking the company for sharing the truth. But, people have not shied away from sharing that the taste of the products has also changed which is letting people believe these lies. One user @pandeyshruti12 wrote “Thank you for sharing this.. but the taste has also changed with this packing that's why we were more doubtful.. The taste is sooo different from the earlier butter we used to have.. Pls check this.”

Amul should ensure maintaining the quality & quantity of it's products.More important is consumer's trust.
