The controversy surrounding the famous Tirupati laddoo took a new turn as the ghee supplier firmly denied allegations of adulteration with animal fat. This dispute emerged after a political party, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), questioned the quality of ghee used in the preparation of the laddoos, which are offered at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) temple. The TDP claimed that pure ghee, priced at Rs 320 per kg, is not being used, raising concerns over the sanctity of the revered prasadam

In response to the claims, the TDP has called for transparency and independent testing of the ghee used in the laddoos. They argue that the sanctity of the prasadam is paramount and any compromise on quality would undermine the trust of devotees. The party’s leaders have demanded accountability from TTD officials regarding the sourcing of ingredients for the laddoos.
The issue has sparked widespread debate among devotees and the public, with many expressing concerns over food safety and authenticity. As the controversy unfolds, calls for a thorough investigation into the quality of ghee and other ingredients used in the preparation of Tirupati laddoos continue to grow, reflecting the deep emotional connection many have with this iconic prasadam. The TTD is yet to issue a formal response to the allegations.
