On the social media platform, Facebook, a photograph of cow urine packed in a small bottle is being shared which claims that the cow urine certified by FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) is being sold in the market.
The Facebook page named Senapati Tunde with thirteen thousand followers, shared the image of a bottled cow urine with the caption, “In the new India, you can now buy FSSAI certified cow urine.”
Fact Check
The DFRAC team fact-checked the viral claim related to cow urine. We found a post debunking this claim on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. It said, “Beware! A rumor is being spread on some WhatsApp and digital media channels that cow urine is certified by FSSAI, which is completely fake. No license number has been issued for cow urine by FSSAI.”
The ministry also shared the same information on its WhatsApp channel. FSSAI, or the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, is the body that regulates food standards in India.
