The district police have seized a huge stock of "adulterated" paneer and butter following raids on a couple of dairies in Vasai region, an official said on Thursday.
The raids were conducted on Wednesday at Sainath and Ajay dairies in Vasai, additional superintendent of police Vijaykant Sagar said.
Total stock of 3,200 kg of spurious paneer and butter collectively worth Rs 7.50 lakh was seized following the raids, the official said, adding that the products were being manufactured in a very unhygienic manner.
The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) has been informed about it, he said.
"Once the FDA gives its report, police would register offences against the owners of the dairies and initiate further action," he said.
According to Sagar, police would continue to act against such dairies.
The seized stock would be destroyed, he said adding that the process to shut down the dairies was underway.
