A lab report has confirmed that Tirupati laddoos, offered as prasad at the Tirumala temple, contain animal fats, including beef tallow, fish oil, and lard. The report by NDDB CALF follows accusations from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu against the previous YSR Congress (YSRCP) government for using substandard ingredients. YSRCP has dismissed these claims as politically motivated. The findings have sparked demands for a probe and criticism from various political and religious leaders, highlighting concerns over the sanctity of the sacred offerings.
